One of the oldest cathedrals in England, standing at the heart of Chichester for over 950 years. Families are welcomed with children of any age: seasonal interactive trails, storytelling events, half-term crafting sessions and activity sheets, plus a children's Sunday service at 9.15am in the Lady Chapel. Spot the 2nd-century Roman mosaic, find the fossil at the Arundel Screen and admire the John Piper tapestry. Step-free access throughout with ramps for pushchairs, cafe on site with highchairs. Admission is by donation.
