Make it a relaxing day out with the family
Our special themed craft activities will run in addition to our usual fun children’s activities that are available all year round. These include the Cathedral Cat Trail and Explorer Backpacks (available from the Welcome Desk) and an opportunity to build your own cathedral with wooden blocks (available in the Cloister Gallery, next to our Café – a perfect lunch-spot with an awe-inspiring Medieval ceiling which keeps little adventurers entertained!). And why not finish your day with a quick visit to our exciting Treasures Exhibition which is full of rare and surprising artefacts, makes this for a wonderfully non-expensive family day out.
