This informal event will explore the quiet but powerful role legacy giving plays in preserving this sacred space of faith, heritage and music.

Highlights include:
• A welcome and Cathedral update from the Dean

• A brief presentation on legacy planning and charitable gifts in wills, led by experts from Irwin Mitchell Solicitors

There will be time for questions with all speakers, and the event will close with tea, cake and conversation.
