School Visits

Welcome to Llandaff Cathedral’s Education programme. Our aim is to enable schools to use the rich resources of the Cathedral as a learning experience, and to encourage children to feel at home in their cathedral. Here children and young people can experience awe and wonder, reflect on their values, develop their sense of belonging and of their identity and their place in history.

The tours are led by our team of guides and we offer a range of topics as detailed below. If you are looking for something different, however, do get in touch and discuss it with us. We will do our best to help.

Learning Experience A offers a range of topics to select from, relating to History and Religious Education.

Learning Experience B is focussed on Spirituality and introduces pilgrimage in an experiential way.

Learning Experience C (details to follow) will relate to the Arts curriculum and will combine learning about aspects of the arts in the Cathedral with hand on creativity.

It is best to make your enquiry well before the date when you hope to visit so that we can book you into the diary. Click here to download a Booking Form and please return to [email protected]

Our Mission Statement

Llandaff Cathedral is a Christian gathering of the Church in Wales, which is a province of the worldwide Anglican Communion. It is also the seat of the Bishop of Llandaff.
