Library & Archives In Focus: Stories and Storytellers

Thursday 15 January 2026 | 1pm – 3pm (drop-in session) | Exeter Cathedral Library and Archives

Stories become part of our collective imagination – memories passed down from generation to generation that shape our understanding of the past and the present.

Discover the timeless tradition of storytelling in the collections of the Cathedral Library and Archives, from creation accounts to tales of medieval pilgrimages, saints’ lives and daring quests for the Holy Grail.

Find a way to connect with Storytellers Sound and Light Show.

This is a free drop-in session. No booking is required.

“Exeter Cathedral is architecture as theatre.”

“A lovely way to spend the afternoon for the whole family.”

“Really lovely, and unexpectedly ‘wow.’”

“I am in a wheelchair, but I could see everything (pretty much!)”

“Well worth the sore neck from time spent looking heavenwards!”

“An oasis of calm…”

“A beautiful choir sang the mass and all the people were friendly and welcoming.”
