New Workshops

In the spring and summer of 2011 the Schools’ Team at Coventry Cathedral piloted a number of Foundation and Early Years Cathedral Workshops. Following a number of successful pre-school and school visits, we are now providing a choice of ten workshops for you to choose from.

If you are interested in bringing a group of children along to the Cathedral for one of the following workshops please do get in touch with the Schools’ Team on: +44 (0)24 7652 1221/1256.

Each of these workshops can be easily adapted to suit your children’s needs and we would welcome the opportunity to work with you.
