Lunchtime Lecture Series

We invite you to attend our inspiring lecture series at Christ Church Cathedral.

A long line of lunchtime lecture series have been running at Christ Church Cathedral since 1997, as well as a memorial series to former dean’s verger, Joe Coady (1987-2003), and a much older annual St Stephen’s day lectures begun by cathedral architect, Sir Thomas Drew, which ran from 1891 until at least the 1960s.

To find out more about current, and past lecture series, read below. To enquire about future lecture series please contact the cathedral’s research advisor, Dr Stuart Kinsella at ei.hcruhctsirhc@sevihcra.
