Threads through the Cross

Free entry | Donations welcome (£5 suggested per person / £10 per family)

Following the hugely popular Threads through Creation exhibition, Sheffield Cathedral is delighted to welcome back acclaimed textile artist Jacqui Parkinson with a stunning new display: Threads through the Cross.

This extraordinary exhibition tells the story of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection through 18 enormous textile panels (3 x 3m and 3 x 2m). Bright, bold, and rich with symbolism, the panels invite visitors to reflect on the journey to the cross and beyond, asking:
What did Jesus go through? And why? What happened next?

Experience this powerful blend of faith, art, and storytelling in the heart of Sheffield.

  • Free to visit – no booking required

  • Evening Viewings

  • Special guided tours and prayer journeys available (see links below)
