The Christopher Events
“Christopher of St Albans” is the logo adopted for the Family Events run in the cathedral. All specially devised for the younger visitors and their families. During school holidays there are trails (at 11:00am and 2:00pm) around the cathedral, led by a cathedral guide to explore the heritage of our great building. On Thursday mornings during February, May and October half terms, one week of the Easter holidays and four weeks in August, themed special activity events are run combining exciting trails and crafts. All free.
Please note:
All children attending the trails or activity mornings must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. All Guides who wear the Christopher badge have been CRB checked to work with families within the building.
