Between 8.30pm and 9.30pm, on Saturday 24th March 2018, the Cathedral will take part in the WWF's Earth Hour by switching off the Cathedral's floodlights.
Hundreds of millions of people around the planet take part in WWF's Earth Hour every year. Last year around 9 million took part in the UK alone. People do a wide range of things around the hour to show they care about our planet's future. Millions choose to mark Earth Hour by going 'lights out' for 60 minutes at 8.30pm - a symbolic show of solidarity for the planet. The world's biggest landmarks - such as the Sydney Opera House, the Eiffel Tower, Buckingham Palace - switch off lights as a visual display of their commitment.
