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!
