Ancient architecture and contemporary sculpture combine in an exciting new exhibition of outdoor art at Norwich Cathedral.

Art in the Close runs from September 2025 to Spring 2026 and sees the Cathedral Close become the inspirational setting for a mix of works by artists John Maine and Lynn Chadwick.

The free open-air exhibition gives visitors the chance to enjoy discovering works in three different areas of the Close - the Cloister, Lower Close and Almary Green.
