Peace Doves 🕊️

Soaring into Lincoln Cathedral this September, Peace Doves is a mass-participation artwork, created by sculptor Peter Walker.

This breathtaking installation is made up of 12,000 paper doves, which will be suspended above the Cathedral’s Nave - and this is where you come in!

Throughout August, you are invited to add your own message of peace, hope and love on to a paper bird. Your bird will then become part of the installation, reminding us of what we can achieve when we work together to create peace in our communities and our world.
