The Cathedral can be a fun and exciting place to explore but we need all pupils to be properly supervised by their school at all times during the visit.

Tours

We offer a general children's guided tour of the Cathedral or one more specifically focused to suit your requirements.

For example, comparing the two Cathedrals is a popular choice.

We train our Cathedral Guides (many of whom are former teachers) to work especially with children, and all are experienced at meeting the needs of a school's curriculum.

We pride ourselves on being teacher-led. Please ask for what you want; we will do our very best to meet your needs.

The cost for this tour is £1.50 per child. You can also do a self guided tour for a suggested donation of £1 per child.
