Educational Programmes

A wide-ranging programme of educational activities, workshops and events runs throughout the entire year. The Cathedral is a unique resource and the team at the Education Centre provides a service for visiting individuals, families and groups to encourage engagement with its religious and spiritual life, its history, heritage and art. Whilst the level of provision for schools and colleges remains a significant part of the work, one in four of the visits or events is for older learners, families and adults.

Within the educational provision there are four subject areas of particular focus and expertise:

     Religious education and spirituality
     History
     Art and architecture
     Citizenship and social justice

Currently available programmes and events:
