Chester Cathedral's latest installation artwork is now open.

Designed by internationally acclaimed sculptor Peter Walker, 'Peace Doves' will be on display until 17 June - during the cathedral's normal operating hours.

With evocative lighting and an original score by David Harper, the exhibit transforms the venue into a "sanctuary of quiet reflection".

Featuring thousands of paper doves decorated with messages of peace, the large-scale artwork invites communities to reflect on the values of peace, unity and harmony.
