Exeter Cathedral is organising three family craft sessions during the May half term holidays, together with the chance for children to borrow one of our free Explorer Backpacks and discover the Cathedral for themselves.
The activities, which are being organised by the Cathedral’s specialist education team, include brass rubbing, badge making, and a whole morning discovering the world of knights and dragons! There’s also a special opportunity to make your own ink and paint to use to create your own medieval manuscript!
Exeter residents can apply for a free admission pass (...
This years contestants include Terry the Tree Frog, Randy the Panda, Mary-Rose the beautiful flamingo and a brand-new, first time competitor – Wendy the Walrus!

Join Wendy on her magical journey to the bottom of ocean where she makes some unlikely new friends who help her to re-think what real beauty is.
