This event does not include entry to Westminster Abbey. We recommend looking at the Visit us pages to plan a visit during opening hours. 

This activity is suitable for children aged 3+. 

All children must be accompanied by an adult throughout their time at the Abbey. 

Please book a ticket for each child in your group. Children must be accompanied by an adult, but adults do not require a ticket.

Entry is through the cloister entrance in Dean’s Yard. 

On your arrival, your bag will be searched and we ask you not to bring any large items with you (for example suitcases, large backpacks or folding bicycles) as these will not be allowed inside and we are unable to store them for you. Prams and pushchairs are permitted. There are steps up to the Chapter House and there will be a buggy park area available at ground level.

The Abbey is committed to creating inclusive and accessible events for all. If you have any access requirements or questions about your visit, please contact us when booking: [email protected]
