The Cathedral and Abbey Church of Saint Alban

The award-winning Education Centre at St Albans Cathedral brings all manner of subjects to life in original and surprising ways. From history, English and geology to maths, art and design, music and RE, our enriching programmes complement the National Curriculum. Trained teachers lead small groups and instil a sense of wonder, discovery and fun. We work with all ages, faiths and abilities, and welcome schools and youth groups from all over the UK and overseas.
Pupils become the people who lived, worked and worshipped in this beautiful cathedral. They uncover its dramatic past and explore the meanings and symbols of this vibrant centre of Christianity.

The Study Centre is an ecumenical centre for Christian learning founded in 1974 and based at the Cathedral. The centre provides a variety of learning opportunities including courses of lectures on Biblical subjects, prayer and spirituality, Christian doctrine, philosophy, and Church history; occasional evening lectures, Saturday study days and workshops, day trips and tours.
The Hudson Library is a modern theological lending library able to meet the needs of the general reader, teachers and students (from secondary school level to higher or further education), clergy undertaking continuing ministerial education, and people training for ordination or lay ministry.
