Through out the year we run a wide range of activities including, light and Christmas parties, Easter Egg hunts, Pizza at the Minster and affordable 'big days out'. Recent big days out have included visits to Monkey World and Madagascar the Musical.

We also host a wide range of activities for 'grown ups' including our popular cream teas, craft fayres and Christmas wreath-making workshops.

Just so you know, children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian when joining activities at the Minster. There is normally no charge for our events but donations towards running costs are always hugely appreciated. In very wet weather, Forest Garden sessions are held in the Minster.
