The Leaves of the Trees: A Reflective Coronavirus Memorial

Chester Cathedral is hosting the nationally touring memorial by Peter Walker from Thursday 3 December 2020 – Sunday 3 January 2021.

Designed to be a reflective memorial to the pandemic, the installation is made up of 5,000 steel leaves which will be laid out in the Chapter House, like fallen autumn leaves. Appearing as though naturally scattered by the wind, the leaves symbolise the past and what has transpired.

The Leaves of the Trees is presented as part of the Christmas Tree Festival.
