The annual Opportunity Peterborough (OP) Bondholder Dinner was held in Peterborough Cathedral and served as a preview to the Museum of the Moon art installation created by Luke Jerram.

“It’s been another successful year for Peterborough. The city has continued to attract investment from across the world and remains one of the fastest growing in the UK. This is in no small part down to the hard work of the organisations that work here.”

“And we’re delighted to have helped them celebrate their achievements and strengthen their business connections.”

The Museum of the Moon display will be at the cathedral until October 14.
