All Creatures Great and Small: A service of blessing for our pets

Aimed at children and their families, this relaxed service will include readings, music and prayers on the theme of creation and care for animals.

Everyone is welcome to come along with their pets, or a photo of their favourite animal. The service will include music by John Rutter and Andrew Carter, and from the pop cantata Captain Noah and his Floating Zoo, sung by the Cathedral choristers and the Junior Choir.

The service will take place at the west end of the Cathedral, with the large doors open so owners and their animals are welcome to gather inside or outside.

Please note that the care and safety of pets are the owners’ responsibility during the service.
