Planning your School Visit
We love welcoming schools into the Cathedral and offer visits for all key stages across a range of subject areas such as History, RS, English and PHSE as well as faith based trip and pilgrimages.
From September 2025 visits to the Cathedral will cost £5.00 per student for a half day (10am-12pm with 2 learning sessions) or £7.50 per student for a full day (10am-2pm with 3 learning sessions and use of our classroom for lunch). You can book a self-guided visit for your group for £3.50 per student (half day). A 10% discount will be available for visits booked for September or January.
You'll be able to find more information about the learning sessions we offer as well as the discounts that might be available for your school visit in our new Learning brochures in the "Useful Documents" section below.
