Sheffield Cathedral
We’re delighted to welcome Peace Doves to Sheffield, a large-scale art installation representing the community of Sheffield.
This large-scale installation, created by renowned sculptor and artist Peter Walker and composer David Harper, will feature several thousand paper doves suspended above the nave of the Cathedral. Schools across Sheffield and South Yorkshire will contribute, as will community groups, wellbeing groups, and the general public, by decorating the doves that form the artwork with messages of peace, love, and hope - creating a unique piece that reflects the thoughts and feelings of local people from all faiths, ages, and backgrounds.
Visitors to the Cathedral are welcome to appreciate its scale and beauty, and experience a sense of serenity and peace.
Entry is free with a suggested entry donation of £3 per person. Donations will go towards the care and work of the Cathedral, helping to keep its doors open for all.

PEACE DOVES INTERPRETATION
The art installation ‘Peace Doves’ is an artwork created by Peter Walker Sculptor.
Bringing a message of peace and hope, the Peace Doves artwork has been created from thousands of individually handmade paper doves, together they collectively form this beautiful artwork which as a whole reflects joining together in unity, peace and hope moving forward.
Peace Doves is an artwork that has been re-curated for different spaces as it tours the UK, adaptations have been seen in cathedral’s in Liverpool, Lichfield, Derby, Rochester and now at Sheffield.
The Peace Doves project has incorporated educational engagement with many schools and community groups in the local area and each person has written individual messages of peace and hope onto each dove.
Throughout history the dove has been viewed as a symbol of peace in many different cultures. For example in Greek mythology the dove is a symbol of the renewal of life, and liturgically within the Bible the dove appears at the Baptism of Jesus in the river Jordan and in the teachings of Noah and the Ark as a symbol of the Holy Spirit.
