In 1966, Chichester Cathedral unveiled one of Britain’s most daring post-war art commissions: a vivid tapestry by the celebrated artist and printmaker John Piper (1903–1992).

In honour of this groundbreaking work, Chichester Cathedral will be hosting a new exhibition running from Friday 13 February to Sunday 15 November 2026. Glowing + Alive reveals the story behind the tapestry’s creation, exploring the people and patrons who shaped the commission and examining its lasting impact on the life of the Cathedral.

Alongside the exhibition, an exciting programme of events, talks and tours will engage audiences of all ages. 

A complementary exhibition of new work by contemporary artist Alice Carter, Ashes To Fire (13 February – 5 April 2026), will further enrich the programme, creating a striking dialogue with Piper’s masterpiece.
