Southwark Cathedral will be re-opening its doors for individual private prayer from Saturday 4 July and for limited public worship from Monday 6 July. By that time, the Cathedral will have been closed to the public for 103 days - which is thought to be the longest that it has ever closed its doors for in its 1400-year history.
The annual celebration of the life of Thomas Cure (d.1588) one of the founding beneficiaries of what is now United St Saviour's Charity led by the Dean of Southwark, The Very Revd Andrew Nunn, includes a presentation on the work of the charity past and present and music by the choir of Southwark Cathedral
