Glasgow Requiem: The Well

This October, Aproxima begins a major new chapter in its Glasgow Requiem programme
with The Well - a project that reawakens the ancient 13th century well hidden within Glasgow
Cathedral.

Once central to Glasgow’s foundation story, the well has lain dormant for centuries in the
Cathedral’s crypt. Long associated with healing, pilgrimage and renewal, it is now being
reimagined as a contemporary wellspring - a source of connection, reflection and hope for
the city and its communities.

On Tuesday 21 October, the well will be excavated for the first time in living memory. The excavation is being undertaken by Professor Stephen Driscoll, a leading archaeologist of Scotland's historic period at Glasgow University and long term collaborator David Sneddon of Clyde Archaeology alongside Aproxima.

This rare live public event offers a chance to witness archaeology in action and to explore the layers of history beneath one of Glasgow’s most sacred sites. The excavation will be open to the
public from 12 noon to 4pm with the chance to glimpse objects uncovered from the depths
of the well.

This is just the start.

Stay tuned for more news of what’s coming next very soon.
