Bringing a school or uniformed group to Gaia

Rochester Cathedral is once again open for school and group visits!

From 24th May until 10th June we will be hosting “Gaia” (The Earth) by artist Luke Jerram.  

About Gaia

Gaia is a giant globe (7 metres in diameter) made up of NASA photography. The installation gives us the chance to see an astronaut’s view of the world and has been created in part to help us understand the need to do whatever we can to tackle climate change.
