Fun Activities


Get the holidays off to a festive start with our creative workshops for children and their families! Make a seasonal centrepiece and other decorations to adorn your house this Christmas using natural materials, including foliage from the Cathedral gardens.

Plus, take our Christmas Family Trail throughout Advent — explore the Cathedral to find the glass, carvings, and embroideries that relate to the Christmas story, then colour in and cut out the story panels to take home!
