Other Old Choristers' Associations
The familiar start to Exeter's Christmas Eve service has two choristers singing the opening of the Office of Bishop Grandisson in a darkened cathedral. Freddie Dobson and Rose Nettleton-Croley were photographed a few days previously by a news photographer, with the photos appearing in The Times and The Daily Telegraph on 20th December 2024.

Construction of the new Cloisters Gallery was completed during the autumn and it was officially opened on 4th November. The shop is now in the 19th century Pearson cloister extension, that joins the new cloisters. The cafe is in the Chapter House.

Following close on from completion of the new Quire flooring just before Easter 2024, work began in the summer of 2024 to lay new heating and electrics in the Ambulatory. This involves lifting the current foor and carrying out archaeological investigations prior to the new installations being laid. Work began in the north ambulatory and will gradually move round the quire.
