Discovery Mornings at Ely Cathedral

Join us to discover more about our Cathedral.

Discovery Mornings are opportunities for children and families to come along to the Cathedral and take part in activities to help them discover more about the building, its history, the people that have been here and those who use it today. 

They run throughout the year and have themes such as Colour, Victorian Inventors and Icons. Keep up to date with the latest Discovery Morning on this page and through our Facebook Group Ely Cathedral Learning

Discovery Morning: Bumblebees
Saturday 13th June 2026, 10am - 12pm

Where to find us
Find us on the East Lawn to the rear of Ely Cathedral (by the Almonry Kitchen entrance).

What will you be doing?
Ely Cathedral Learning have joined forces with the RENEW Eco Team to host a Discovery Morning all about bumblebees! Learn more about the 24 species of bumblebee in the UK and how Ely Cathedral is helping scientists to record data about these wonderful creatures with their monthly Bee Walks for the Bumblebee Conservation Trust. There will be craft and messy, hands-on activities for all primary school aged children.

How do I join in?
This Discovery Morning is free of charge and open to all children. Simply come to the East Lawn to join us. There is no need to book your place. 

Donations are welcomed to cover the cost of our resources (suggested donation £2 per child). Please contact learning@elycathedral.org if you have any questions.
