Canterbury Cathedral
Few buildings can claim to represent the sheer breadth of the British national story as clearly as Canterbury Cathedral.
Standing on a site that spans two thousand years of human history, it has served as a silent witness to the Norman Conquest, medieval mass pilgrimage, and centuries of global conflict.
Because the building we see today is composed of fragments from vastly different eras, its history can seem overwhelmingly complex.
To help us navigate this storied past, the Goring Gap Local History Society presents Dr Jonathan Foyle – an award-winning BBC broadcaster, author, and architectural historian – to distil the story of Canterbury Cathedral through the lives of three key characters who encountered this great building, and were reflected by it.
Plus, they’ll celebrate a special local connection: Goring’s own St Thomas of Canterbury Church
The Gap Festival
The GAP Festival is a celebration of the arts and entertainment that started as an ambitious cultural project in 2014 as a legacy to the Queen’s Jubilee.
After the first Festival, the word spread and now a Festival takes place in June every other year in the beautiful Goring Gap villages of Goring and Streatley.
It brings outstanding performers and artists together with events encompassing art, music, literature, comedy, theatre, science and more.
The Goring and Streatley Festival, as it is officially known, is a registered charity.
They rely on the generous support of their volunteers, sponsors, and individual donations to bring this Festival to you.
The GAP Festival exists to promote, educate and engage people with arts and cultural activities in our community.Â
