Things to do

St Albans Cathedral is a great place to visit for the whole family - whatever the weather! From the longest nave in England and an extensive collection of medieval wall paintings, to an exciting programme of activities and events and a brand new interactive exhibition with artefacts, audio visuals and an exciting digital tour of the Cathedral. There are lots to do for young visitors. Visit the exhibition area for a chance to dress up as a king, bishop or Roman soldier, play with fun interactive screens, and have a go at brass rubbing. Or pick up one of our Young Explorer Guides to explore the Cathedral in an exciting, new way. You can also borrow one of our Young Explorer Backpacks complete with binoculars, magnifying glasses and more to help our Young Explorers. After your visit, why not visit the Cathedral Shop and Abbots Kitchen Café in our brand new Welcome Centre, where you can pick up the perfect souvenir and enjoy delicious tea, cakes and lunches.
