Visiting the Abbey
Westminster Abbey is a brilliant place for families to visit. There are animals to spot, stories to discover, history to explore and with over 3,000 buried and remembered in the Abbey there really is something for everyone to get excited about.
We run family activities on a variety of themes on Saturdays throughout the year and during local school holidays too. There are family trails to help you explore the Abbey and the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Galleries.
