We currently have a small range of guided Cathedral, riverbank and virtual tours and schools can also visit in a self-led capacity.

In the new term we will have more guided activities for schools available.

Outdoor guided visits

Geography - an adventure in the Cathedral’s woodlands and riverbanks. Children use a compass and draw a map with landmark features.

History - look at the City, the walls and defences. Learn about the two mills beside the river and how people lived and worked.

Environmental Art  - children will explore colour, patterns and textures in the environment surrounding the Cathedral. They will use their senses to listen and draw woodland sounds.

Woodland experience - learn about plants, seed dispersal, life cycles, animals, habitats and food chains through a range of environmental games and activities.

Outdoor Cuthbert - go outdoors into our woodlands and discuss Cuthbert’s love of the natural world through drama
