Get creative this summer with community craft in the Cloisters

Running from 9.30 – 14:30 on Tuesday 1, Wednesday 2 and Tuesday 8 August, this year’s activity ties in with our summer art exhibition – To Be Free: Art and Liberty.

Thinking about the question ‘what does freedom mean to you?’, get creative and make a clay hand which holds your own symbol of freedom.

Sessions are an hour long and run 5 times a day. Book your slot online for £4 per person. Please note the event scheduled for Wednesday 9 August is now cancelled.

Younger visitors to the Cathedral can also explore our art exhibition and the grounds with the ‘Free as a Bird’ trail, running every day from Tuesday 18 July to Sunday 17 September. Spot birds hidden around the Cathedral and in our new art exhibition, and listen for the sounds of birds who make our Cathedral their home. Included in Cathedral entry prices.
