To mark the Cathedral's 950th anniversary celebrations, this new trail highlights the amazing stories behind some of the objects on display in our exhibition, Religion, Rebellion & Reformation.
Families are invited to seek out artefacts, such as flowers pressed by a soldier between the pages of a Bible in the trenches of WWI and 800-year-old rings worn by Bishops during the 12th century. Led by Wilfrid the Seal, children and their adults will delight in uncovering the rich and vibrant tales behind these historic items.
Ideal for all ages, for younger children there is an eye spy game, and everyone will enjoy making (and eating) the 18th century rice pudding recipe once back home.
Once you’ve completed your trail don’t forget to head to our shop or speak to a member of staff to retrieve your sticker prize!
The trail can be collected from the Visitors' Desk or at points around the Cathedral and will be running from 7th April – 15th November 2025.
After you’ve soaked in the history and discovered all the wonderful artefacts featured in the trail, why not pop into Cloisters Café for a drink and a delicious bite to eat. While refuelling, you can complete the other fun activities on the trail such as drawing your favourite treasure and spotting the amazing landmarks that can be found across the diocese, including Arundel Castle, Petworth House and Brighton Pavilion!
