Get closer to God on cathedral’s helter skelter

A 40ft helter skelter will be placed inside a cathedral next summer to encourage people to have “conversations about faith”.

A Norwich Cathedral spokesman said people climbing up the fairground ride will be treated to unique views of the cathedral, including a closer look at depictions of biblical stories on its roof.

“The hope is this rather unusual addition will give people the chance to experience the centuries-old space in a new way and open up conversations about faith,” the spokesman said.

Visitors will also be invited to lie on yoga mats and look at the ceiling as part of the event called Seeing It Differently.
