Mini visits for Foundation Stage and Reception classes
Before you bring a class of small children to visit the cathedral we will work with you to devise a programme of your choice based on using all five senses.
For example, you might like to arrange for the children to look and wonder at the size of the arches and the height and decorations of the ceiling, or to see colours in the widows, to feel the shapes and texture of the stone and the wood in the columns and carvings, to sit in the choir stalls and hear choral singing, to smell incense, and to taste ‘special food’. Perhaps you might also like to light candles and include a moment of quiet and stillness.
Sometimes it is also possible to arrange for children to hear the organ being played, or to arrange for a member of the cathedral clergy to talk to the children about the colours and style of the robes they wear for services.
We will discuss your objectives with you, and tailor the visit to suit your needs.
Duration: This can be to suit you, but 30-45 minutes is ideal.
Price: £1.50 per child
