VISITORS to York Minster will see more than they bargained for the next few months thanks to the work of a sculptors' group.

Twenty four sculptures, by 14 different artists, are hidden in or around the cathedral as part of the new Within The Sublime exhibition.

The Yorkshire Sculptors Group, which is behind the works, took the Minster as its inspiration and created art with specific parts of the building in mind - some subtle, some dramatic.

Alan Gummerson, chairman of the Yorkshire Sculptors Group, said: "We are a lively group of sculptors, with different ways of creating sculpture, and our energy is reflected in our work.

"We want to make high-quality sculpture which is accessible by everyone, and it is a privilege to have the opportunity to show our work at York Minster".

Within The Sublime runs until September 2.

York residents can use their Minster passes to see the exhibition free of charge.
