Why visit Liverpool Cathedral?

A School visit to Liverpool Cathedral is often an awe-inspiring event for children. The building itself as well as its monuments, stained glass windows and vivid colours, are designed to stimulate thought and emotion. Pupils can experience the Cathedral both as a building and as a living community of faith, with the aid of artefacts, costumes, role-play, planned trails and workshops. We are always happy to adapt and develop our workshops to meet your pupils’ particular needs.
