The event at the cathedral is set to be one of the biggest training exercises in recent years, for the fire service.
The fire service will be planning a dry run of a portable, high-volume water pump which will draw water from the River Severn up to the Cathedral.
The Cathedral will be closed for general visiting on this day, but services (at 8am, 10.30am, 4pm and 6.30pm) will take place as normal.
