Access times to inside of Cathedral for Winchester Passion

There is no problem to access outside the cathedral. We have the following from Bob
Forrester to access inside the cathedral

As discussed, listed below are the times that you can have access to inside the
Cathedral to set up the equipment for the Passion:

Wednesday 19 March

• Anytime during the day until 5 pm, but silent work from 4 pm

Thursday 20 March

• 12.30 pm - 5 pm, but silent work from 4 pm. The equipment may be left in place
during the Concelebrated Eucharist of the Last Supper from 7 pm -9.30 pm
• Cathedral are open to someone staying on the cathedral balcony from 7-9.30pm
while lights are tested (they are aware that we need to test lights outside during this
time) and Carlton/Darren will be on Walkie Talkies if this sound (not lights) cause a
disturbance
• 9.30 pm - 10.30 pm to test the lighting

Friday 21 March
• 9.30 am - 11.30 am
• Can you be silent outside the Cathedral from noon - 3 pm as far as reasonably
possible, ie no loudspeaker tests
• 3 pm - 4.30 pm (silence from 4-4.30pm)
• Access to cathedral again at 5.45pm. Need to be as quiet as is reasonably possible
as a service is going on in the choir stalls until 6.15pm (!)
• External set up may continue throughout the day

The cathedral west end doors will be closed to visitors from 4pm and then cables can be
finally run near the wheelchair ramp (left of west end doors) without any concern of
visitor access etc. Prior to that if cables are momentarily run across the ramp for testing
technology engineers need to be on guard to warn visitors

Access to grounds
Carlton will open gates at 8am on Wed, Thurs, Fri
