More about this Workshop/Service and the Provider

Our magnificent Norman Cathedral is the perfect environment to support work in all areas of the National Curriculum.

What we offer

Learn about monastic life in the medieval period and the impact of the Reformation to support work in History. Marvel at the architecture and art both in the stained glass and the intricate patterns employed by Norman stonemasons.

There are a number of set sessions and tours or we can tailor a visit to meet individual requirements. These include learning sessions in our city centre woodlands and riverbanks.

Please note that you must book to visit the Cathedral if you are an educational group.
