School visits are subsidised by the Cathedral. To help meet costs, you are

invited to pay a donation of £4.50 for a full day, and £3.50 for a half day per

child unless otherwise indicated. No charge for accompanying adults.

On booking it is assumed you agree to pay this donation.

Visits are planned by Diana Ives / Emma Anderton, both experienced

teachers, assisted by a team of trained volunteers. The Minster is a very safe

place to visit and all activities are low risk. The behaviour, safety and

supervision of your children remains your responsibility at all times.

Booking forms for Year 6 days and Time Travelling are on our website

education pages www.southwellminster.org.uk or directly from us.

Please book all other visits through us, by phone or email in the first
