Half Term Costume Story Trail

Monday 16 – Saturday 21 February 2026 during Cathedral opening hours

Get your Story Puzzle Trail Sheet from the Cathedral’s Welcome Desk. Follow the trail around the Cathedral and look out for costume characters along the way…a knight, a medieval maiden, a chorister, a bishop and several more. The end of the trail brings an opportunity for you to dress up yourself and take photos in this wonderful heritage setting and pick up a themed prize from the Shop before you leave.

Trail sheets £2.50 on entry.
Children free with a paying adult.
