Welcome to Hereford Cathedral Schools Programme!

Educational visits for schools and colleges are an important part of the work of the cathedral. We welcome students of all ages and invite them to experience the very special atmosphere of our cathedral building where prayer is still offered today, as it has been over the centuries.

We have taken steps to ensure that all usual tours and workshops which we offer can still be offered to schools.

We are currently developing virtual versions of many of our tours. This can be combined with a Q&A session by members of the education team, either by video link or in person.

New for this year, we are encouraging schools to take part in the Windows on our Communities project through visits to the cathedral. Details of this project can be found here. 

Visits to school

Members of the education team are happy to bring any of our standard workshops to take place in your school. In addition, we are linking with the Music Department to offer organ workshops to take place in your local Church

Standard Primary School tours

Details of the primary school tours and workshops are shown on the following leaflet:

Self-guided tours

If you would like to lead your own visit, then we have a teacher’s pack to help with this. To request a copy of this please email [email protected].

Self-guided tours need to be booked in advance, in the usual manner.
