Bristol Cathedral promises an exciting Summer and Autumn ahead with a variety of family-friendly activities, including craft days for children.
When you visit with your family don’t miss our children’s trail and enjoy hunting for some of the more unusual animals portrayed in stone and glass around the building. Did you know there’s even a snail crawling across a leaf among the carvings on our walls?
