Cathedral unveils postbox topper exhibition

Guildford Cathedral has unveiled 40 postbox toppers for a free exhibition.

The decorations were selected from over 80 submissions for the public display at the cathedral.

Louise Musgrove, the cathedral's head of commercial enterprise, said the exhibition had been a "labour of love" for the events team.

It features postbox toppers from across England, with themes including the emergency services, royalty and Black History Month.

The creator of this postbox topper took inspiration from the emergency services

Ms Musgrove paid tribute to the "talented topper makers who have contributed their expertise and creativity" to the exhibition.

Guildford Cathedral is encouraging exhibition visitors to participate by "adding rows to a crocheted or knitted scarf, creating a crafty record of the event".

A series of workshops has also been curated to inspire crafters at the cathedral.

The exhibition runs until 2 June.
