Who would have thought a dinosaur in a cathedral would be so popular? After just six weeks in residence, Dippy the dinosaur welcomed over 100,000 visitors to the Nave of Norwich Cathedral.
Although some marvel at the number of visitors, it was always more about the quality of the encounter. Some of the most moving moments have taken place in the Reflection Zone. Visitors are invited to make a pledge for the planet, to write on a leaf what they will do to help the planet and then hang it on the tree – for as the Book of Revelation reminds us: the leaves of the trees are for the healing of the nations.
