Crafty Cathedral

Come and make something together this August.

Crafty Cathedral is back for four Thursday mornings this summer — a relaxed, hands-on way for families to explore the Cathedral together. Each week brings a new theme, inspired by the stories, spaces, and centuries of life held within these walls.

No charge. No booking. Just turn up, get stuck in, and see where your imagination takes you.

Thursdays, 10am – 12pm

• 6 August — Mythical Beasts and Beings
• 13 August — Knights and Monks
• 20 August — Creation Spotter Trail
• 27 August — Cathedral Art

Whether you come for one Thursday or all four, everyone’s welcome!

A Day Out at Bristol Cathedral

Make the most of your visit with themed trails, music, and hands-on activities that bring the Cathedral’s spaces to life. Kids can explore, create, and uncover the stories behind the stone and glass, while families enjoy a calm, inspiring day together.

Take a break at our beautiful café, run by Pinkmans, offering light lunches, single-origin coffee, cakes, and their famous sourdoughnuts.

The Cathedral Garden is a springtime wonder, full of flowers, winding paths, and curious wildlife, while the courtyard next to the café offers a sunny spot to relax.
