You are invited to join us for a memorable modern-day pilgrimage for children. Investigate architecture, artefacts and symbols; hear Bible stories and learn how faith is expressed. Learning outcomes are from the Notts Agreed Syllabus and links to ‘Understanding Christianity’. Content can be viewed in detail for KS1 here and for KS2 here. Each group is accompanied by a volunteer Pilgrim Guide, and activities are led by our team. We start and end the day with collective worship – special songs, meet a priest and hear the organ.

Pilgrimage: (Definition Macmillan online dictionary)
- A journey that a religious person makes to a holy place.
- A visit to a place that is connected to someone or something that is important to you.
The Minster is a place of spiritual significance due to its Cathedral status (it contains the seat of the Bishop), and its connection with the nation’s history. This makes it a special place for all visitors, especially those who live in Nottinghamshire.
