Cathedral trails

Family trails allow children to discover the Cathedral at their own pace and are packed with fun facts and opportunities to find things, write creatively and draw pictures. They can all be printed in advance of your visit (just click on the pictures) but plenty will be available once inside.

 
  
Cathedral services As a busy working church, acts of worship are part of our daily life. You are warmly invited to attend all our services - we particularly recommend Choral Evensong, at which you can hear our world-famous choir. Information about service times, as well as brief descriptions about each of our services can be found at www.stpauls.co.uk/serviceschedule. 
Can you build a Cathedral? Take a look at our Fantastic Feats activity sheet and design your own Dome using recyclable materials for a chance to win a free trip to St Paul's Cathedral for you and your class. Ask a parent or carer to tweet us a photo of your masterpiece to @StPaulsEdu or email us at families@stpaulscathedral.org.uk. See full T&Cs.
