Peterborough Cathedral were kind enough to let us use their space to hold our exhibition and was held for a week in March of 2023.

We were also able to hold the exhibition at the University Centre Peterborough where the artwork was showcased in a different format. This provided an opportunity for student who had entered the exhibition to come see there work printed and on display if they could not make it to the Cathedral.
