St Cuthbert Festival: Stories of Sanctuary

@ Durham Cathedral

Book Now

Experience a thousand years of Durham’s history of sanctuary – from the arrival of an exiled monastic community carrying the body of the much loved Saint Cuthbert in the 10th century, through to refugees that have recently arrived in the UK from the ongoing civil war in Syria.

The songs will be performed by Sam Slatcher, along with guest musician Raghad Haddad, a viola player from the Syrian National Orchestra, as well as some of the participants of the workshops.
