Make the most of your school's visit to York Minster
A visit to York Minster is a great experience for anybody, and especially for a child. But the impact is greatly increased by skilled interpreters of the building and its contents, and the Centre for School Visits provides just what you need.
This section will show you the many resources we offer for young people of all ages. Unlike most attractions, York Minster is a living place of worship. In our multi-cultural society, it provides a place not only to learn about the past, but to understand what the Christian religion means today.
This is one of the most amazing buildings in the world, and we want to share it with you.
Keith Jones, Dean of York
Advance Booking
York Minster is an active place of worship. This means that at certain times the Minster can be closed for special services. We advise that all school visits are booked in advance to avoid these occasions.
Further details about services and closures can be found in the events calendar.
