CARLISLE Cathedral is encouraging members of the public to take part in a summer challenge. 

The Church Door Challenge asks people to submit pictures of entranceways accompanied by details about a place of worship. 

The Church of England has organised this event and is inviting people to take part. 

In a post on social media, Carlisle Cathedral wrote: "Step one: Take a photo – or even short video – of your church door/entrance. Perhaps it has an interesting design or a fascinating bit of history – you could also share a photo of an interior door.

"Step two: Upload your photo or video to your social media platform of choice.

"Step three: Accompany your photo or video with the name and location of the church.

"Step four: Before posting your photo or video – use the hashtag #ChurchDoorChallenge so all the entries are visible."
