Join us in the Nave every week for Talkative Tuesdays, a series of talks, lectures and discussions inspired by Dippy the Dinosaur’s visit to Norwich Cathedral.

The talks - which will take place in the presence of the Natural History Museum's Dippy the dinosaur - will focus on the encounter between faith and science through the ages, ranging from accounts of Creation in the Bible to mediaeval monasteries to today’s climate crisis.

The full programme of talks is below. All talks start at 7pm and entry is via the Dark Entry of the Cathedral's Cloister.

Tickets for each talk cost £5.

For more information and to book tickets, see the events page on our Dippy microsite.
