Learning

There are lots of opportunities for learning at Birmingham Cathedral.

Whether you want to improve your own knowledge, or organise an educational visit for your school, college or university, there are plenty of resources to support you.

Since 2021, we have run an annual Children’s Poetry Festival – which has attracted hundreds of entries from local children – proudly displayed in Cathedral Square during the summer months. We also provide a brief history of the cathedral and information about the military standards and colours currently laid up with us.

Following the completion of our conservation work, we are excited to launch our brand new school visits programme.

The sessions can cover Birmingham heritage and history, Christian life and worship, and music workshops. Furthermore, we are offering GCSE and A Level workshops, designed to meet the specifications of all major exam boards. We can also create bespoke sessions for your school, just get in touch.

If coming to the Cathedral presents a challenge, why not book one of our in-school workshops? These can cover all of the same content as coming to the Cathedral, but all in the comfort of your own school.

Please note that all school group visits must be booked through the Cathedral, we will not be able to accommodate ‘walk-ins’. Due to our busy service schedule, we may have turn away any unbooked groups.
