Peace Doves


  • Sheffield Cathedral Church Street Sheffield S1 1HA (map)

We’re delighted to welcome Peace Doves to Sheffield, a large-scale art installation representing the community of Sheffield.

This large-scale installation, created by renowned sculptor and artist Peter Walker and composer David Harper, will feature several thousand paper doves suspended above the nave of the Cathedral. Schools across Sheffield and South Yorkshire will contribute, as will community groups, wellbeing groups, and the general public, by decorating the doves that form the artwork with messages of peace, love, and hope - creating a unique piece that reflects the thoughts and feelings of local people from all faiths, ages, and backgrounds.

Visitors to the Cathedral are welcome to appreciate its scale and beauty, and experience a sense of serenity and peace.

Entry is free with a suggested entry donation of £3 per person.  Donations will go towards the care and work of the Cathedral, helping to keep its doors open for all.

If you, your school or community and/or wellbeing group would like to be involved, please email arts@sheffield-cathedral.org.uk.
