Family Fun & Learning

You and your whole family can be sure of a warm welcome and a great day out at Lincoln Cathedral!

To make sure every member of the family has fun, you’ll find exciting activities and information around every corner as you explore the Cathedral. At the welcome desk you can pick up a themed backpack, full of entertaining items to enjoy as you look around our historical building. For younger children, there is an activity trolley with books, dressing-up, puppets, and much more.

The Discovery Centre is an unmissable experience that is fun for all ages. Get hands-on in the Discovery Centre while trying your hand at being a stone mason and building a giant arch. Parents, grandparents and toddlers can all enjoy our cosy play corner, and who doesn’t love dressing-up?

Every school holiday we host much-loved themed family arts and crafts in the Learning Centre, all of which are free with admission. And don’t forget, children aged 16 and under visit free with a paying adult.
