For too long Salisbury has been considered a short stop on the way to Stonehenge. But 2015 is set to be the year visitors linger in this city as it marks the 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta, (Latin for “Great Charter”), which limited royal power and established the rights of common people. The highlight for the celebrations will be Salisbury Cathedral, whose Chapter House holds the Magna Carta. A brand new exhibition will launch in the Chapter House, alongside an array of talks, evensongs, and a flower festival.
长期以来，索尔兹伯里只被人们当做去巨石阵途中的一个小站而已。但2015年注定是属于这个小站的。因为就在整整800年前，限制王权、建立民权的大宪章，正是在这里诞生的。庆祝活动的高潮将在索尔兹伯里大教堂举行，大宪章的原本就收藏在这里的牧师会礼堂里。这里将举办全新的展览，同时还会进行一系列的演说，晚祷和鲜花庆典。
