We Are Gathered Here Exhibition

Visit this unusual and atmospheric art installation in the beautiful sacred setting of the Lady Chapel in Gloucester Cathedral.

The ‘We Are Gathered Here’ artwork brings past residents of Gloucester to life, by depicting a congregation in silhouette. It pays homage to the people who have contributed to Westgate Street’s heritage over time. They once lived, worked, visited or supported Westgate Street at various times in the past.

The figures, which were created by art students at Gloucestershire College, demonstrate the long history of Gloucester's Westgate Street and its importance as a place of trade throughout the ages. It is a celebration of the people who have shaped, influenced and worked to make Gloucester the special place it is today.

This exhibition is a partnership between the Cathedral Quarter High Street heritage Action Zone (Gloucester City Council and Historic England), Gloucestershire Family History Society, Gloucester Civic Trust, Gloucestershire College and the Churches Conservation Trust, and supported by Voices Gloucester and Nicks Timber.
