Lisburn Cathedral is 400 years old this year and the church family recently held a weekend of celebrations to mark the historic occasion.

On Friday June 9 the congregation gathered in Castle Gardens for a Brazilian barbecue. On Saturday June 10 an afternoon tea was held in the church building, with guests including ‘time travellers’ who shared something of life in Lisburn in the 1600’s – how people lived, how they dressed, what they ate and the issues they faced.

On Sunday June 11 a special Friends of Lisburn celebratory service was held in the Cathedral, with special guest Bishop George Davison.
