Exhibitions

Over the years we have welcomed many visitors to the Cathedral to experience different exhibitions.

Below you can read a summary of two of the previous exhibitions we featured here.

Shroud of Turin Exhibition

The  Shroud of Turin exhibition was on display at Salford Cathedral from 23rd May to 4th June 2017.

“The Shroud of Turin exhibition is a travelling exhibition which takes life sized replicas of the Shroud of Turin to different venues. The actual Shroud is housed in the Cathedral of the Italian city of Turin and because of its extraordinary nature, it is the subject of many books and documentaries. The Shroud of Turin exhibition hopes to give visitors a chance to understand more about the mysteries of the Shroud.”

We look forward to hosting the exhibition again in the future due to the response of those attending.
