As part of the events it is going to exhibit a copy of Tyndale's 1535 New Testament, on loan from the British Library.

Blackburn is a fairly new diocese within the Church of England created in 1926, to cover northern Lancashire beyond Liverpool and Manchester. The cathedral is a relatively new building having been built as a large parish church in 1826, before being elevated to cathedral status a hundred years later. As such, 2026 is the centenary of the diocese and the bicentenary of the cathedral as well as the 500th anniversary of the printed English New Testament.

To mark the 500th anniversary of Tyndale's New Testament, North Nibley Congregational Chapel near Dursley in Gloucestershire is hosting an exhibition about the life and work of William Tyndale and his local connections to southern Gloucestershire. The exhibition was due to remain open until the end of August but, due to its popularity, will remain open during September until 18th September. The chapel is near the Tyndale Monument which is also open to climb.
