Eurovision set to be screened at Portsmouth Cathedral
The Eurovision Song Contest will tomorrow be screened at Portsmouth Cathedral – giving the city’s residents the chance to enjoy the night in an unusual setting.
The free event is part of a nationwide Cathedrals at Night campaign in which visitors will have the chance to explore the cathedral after dark alongside the familyfriendly Eurovision evening. Visitors can turn up between 7pm and midnight. The competition screening will start at 8pm, so visitors are advised to arriveearlyiftheywanttocatch thewholeshow–andgetagood seat.
Refreshments and a limited bar will be available throughout the evening, with a portion of the profits going to the DEC Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal.
The DEC (Disasters Emergency Committee) is a UK-based charity that helps people affected by disasters and conflicts around the world.
Portsmouth Cathedral’s events manager, Jemima Crayden, said: ‘To make the event inclusive for everyone, we've made sure it's familyfriendly and organised a Eurovision-themed quiz that's both fun and interactive.
‘And by donating a portion of our refreshment profits to the DEC Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal, we hope to play a small part in helping those in need.’
‘There is no dress code for the event, but visitors are encouraged to come in their best Eurovisionthemed outfits or in colours to support their favourite country.
‘Please note this will be a family-friendly event, and visitors are not allowed to bring their own refreshments into the cathedral.’
