Richard III was re-interred in Leicester Cathedral on 26 March 2015 to a worldwide TV audience of many millions.
Our talk and slideshow revisits the incredible events of that week and then goes on to explore the tomb of Richard III, the pall which covered his coffin during the period of lying in repose, and the Tom Denny Redemption windows installed in April 2016. These beautiful artefacts were created by renowned experts in their field to a exceptionally high degree of craftsmanship.

The Cathedral has recently reopened following major restoration. Having developed slideshows during the closure period, which we can take out to outside organisations, we are very keen to continue with this offer. Topics we cover include the re-interment of Richard III, a highlights tour of the Cathedral, The Cathedral windows, the Regimental Chapel - A post colonial perspective and the Leicester Cathedral Revealed project and the archaeological dig. Our talks are delivered by trained and enthusiastic Cathedral guides, whilst the slideshows have been developed to a very high standard.
If your organisation has a keen interest in history and would like us to showcase Leicester Cathedral in this way we would be delighted to hear from you.
