“We are thrilled to see such a tremendous response to Monsters of the Sea. It is heartening to witness the joy and curiosity it has sparked in so many young visitors. This exhibition not only highlights the marvels of the ocean but also reinforces the Cathedral’s role as a centre for learning and community involvement.”
