Alongside Time Travelling, the Minster Children’s Education Department organises many other events for schools as part of their annual programme. You can download our full programme for the academic year below.
During the year we run a range of special events:
Christmas and Easter Festival Days: We use the beautiful setting of Southwell Minster to explore these great Christian festivals. Through drama, art and music the children learn how and why Christians celebrate the birth, death and resurrection of Jesus.
The children enter into the activities of the days with great enthusiasm and leave with cards and decorations they have made during the day.
Stepping Out: Our annual Year 6 day has become very popular over the last few years, especially as Footprints Theatre Trust join us for the day, providing a fantastic performance and drama workshop for the children. This event gives Year 6 children an opportunity to reflect on their time and primary school, consider who they are and who they would like to be. Their contributions to the opening and closing worship sessions never fail to move us.
Tailor made: a day to suit an individual school's curriculum requirements. This may include modules on faith, building, church and The Bible and a range of workshops. Please see our programme for more details (downloadable below).

Narnia is coming to Southwell Minster in 2008! October will see the Minster transformed into Narnia for 3 school days, a family day and the beginning of half term holiday. This event has been run successfully in other cathedrals and we plan to bring the magical story of Aslan alive in the Minster for primary children. |
