Learning Visit Booking Form

Please note:

1. Exeter is a working Cathedral and services can take place at very short notice. If your visit will be affected, we will contact you as soon as possible to rearrange your visit. NB. Concert rehearsals often happen.
2. Roof tours are for ages 11 and above and a maximum of 12 pupils at a time, please bear this in mind when booking if you want all your pupils to have the same experience. 
3. Invoices will be generated after your visit based on the total number of pupils who attended on the day. The lead teacher will be requested to sign an invoice receipt at the Welcome Desk to confirm this number before our finance team generate an invoice and send it to the email address given above. If you wish the invoice to be sent to a different address, please provide that too. Please note, for all joint tours with our city partners you will only receive one invoice from the Cathedral which covers the complete cost of the trip.
4. Most of our guides are volunteers who give up their free time to provide tours. Guides are booked specifically for pre-arranged tour times and will wait up to 20 minutes for parties who are delayed.

If you anticipate that you will be late, please contact reception on 01392 255573. If you are over 20 minutes late and we have received no message from you, then we cannot guarantee that your tour will take place – we will offer you the option of a self-led visit instead. It helps if you can prepare your pupils for the visit – especially if you are having a self-led tour. Conduct in the Cathedral is very important in the way you and others use the building.

Remember that the Cathedral is a place of worship. The building itself and the ceremony of the building needs to be respected.

• On the hour a duty chaplain will say prayer for visitors. Please stand still and quiet for a couple of minutes at this time, so others can pray.
• Please no food or drink in the Cathedral unless you have been given special permission from the Learning Officer.
• Pupils must walk around with a designated adult.
• You are more than welcome to use the Cathedral toilets – please get a code from the Welcome Desk.
• If you are using the Pearson storage area you must be accompanied by a member of Cathedral staff and one member of the school/college staff must also accompany any pupils.
• The benches in the cloister area can be used and you can also sit on the grass or out on the Cathedral Green. However, this cannot be booked, as they are areas used by members of the public.
• Candle lighting must be supervised by an adult.
