In search of a unique experience for your Valentine's plans? Experience the Whales installation with your loved ones and enjoy special music, cocktails, tours and experiences.

Did you know that a sperm whale’s heart weighs about the same as two human beings? Invite your loved one to celebrate all things love inside the majestic setting of Winchester Cathedral.

A relaxed date night for the senses which invites you to walk around the cathedral at your own leisure. 

See the historic interior of Winchester Cathedral in a new way, with three monumental sperm whales hanging in the Nave accompanied with blue toned lighting for the perfect under-the-sea feel.

Hear moving shanties and songs of the sea sung by shanty crew High and Dry.

Play! Unleash your inner child and play fun games hidden around the cathedral that are usually just-for-kids!

Taste a range of cocktails available to purchase on the night, brought to you by the talented Winchester Cathedral Cafe team.

Romance-themed tours will also be available to join on the night, at no extra cost, including our popular ‘Romantic scandals’! Each tour lasting 20 minutes. Simply look out for our ‘Guides’ on the night who are looking forward to sharing the cathedral’s stories with you.

This event is suitable for ages 18+.

 

Whales is sponsored by the Southampton Marine & Maritime Institute at the University of Southampton
