Cover to Cover Bible Reading
From Sunday 4th October until Wednesday 7th October we continuously read the whole Bible aloud, cover to cover.
This was a major community undertaking and this non-stop Bible reading was part of our centenary celebrations to greatly enhance the Tyndale 500 Exhibition.
Hundreds of voices from across the diocese each delivered a 15 minute passage during this non-stop Bible reading which forms part of our centenary celebrations.

Tyndale 500 Exhibition: September - November 2026
Tyndale 500 will bring together the story of Tyndale's translation, the turbulent world of Tudor England, and the extraordinary technology of the early printing press.
At its heart will be a rare original 1535 edition of Tyndale's English New Testament (on loan from the British Library) - a 500-year-old printed witness to the moment Scripture began to travel widely in the language of the people.
Visiting the Exhibition
Whether you’re visiting as a pilgrim, a history-lover, a reader of Scripture, or simply curious, guests are welcome to view the Tyndale 500 exhibition during the Cathedral's normal opening hours (some entry restrictions may apply on certain days).
There is no charge to visit, however as a charity, we rely on donations to support the costs and visitor generosity enables us to continue hosting important events like this in the future.
