Out Of The Ashes 29 June 2024 - Summer 2025
Discover the story behind the 1984 fire that threatened to destroy York Minster through our brand-new exhibition – Out of the Ashes.
The exhibition journeys through the dramatic events of 9 July 1984, when the roof of the South Transept was struck by lightning. It details the heroic rescue efforts, clean-up operation and four-year restoration using eyewitness accounts.
See fire damaged furniture that survived the blaze and images from York Minster’s archive, including original drawings for six roof bosses designed by Blue Peter competition winners.
The exhibition, which takes place in the cathedral’s North Transept, will run until summer 2025.
Entry is included with a general admission ticket.
