For over 900 years Tewkesbury Abbey has been at the heart of the community – as a place of gathering, worship, celebration and remembrance. We are one of the UK's ‘Major Churches’, larger than fourteen of our country’s cathedrals, but we are also a unique event venue, important heritage site and global visitor destination.

We applied for and won a £250,000 grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund, which will among other projects increase our marketing activity and visitor engagement, We hope that this will lead to one or more larger-scale capital bids which could lead to a longer-term funding relationship to spearhead the Abbey's next chapter.

In the past year we have hosted Luke Jerram’s ‘Gaia’ installation which was visited by over 20,000 people from across the region, the Luxmuralis immersive projection ‘Space’ and ‘The Longest Yarn’, a commemorative exhibition of knitted D-Day history, followed by Peter Walker’s ‘Peace Doves’ installation. Alongside these we also hosted environmental events, a schools programme, concerts and talks in addition to a packed programme of worship and festive services.
