Looking for something to do with the family this summer? Portsmouth Cathedral is open all season, and there’s plenty to keep everyone entertained, without breaking the bank.
Follow the Pride of Portsmouth Lion Trail
As part of the Portsmouth 100 celebrations, join the Pride of Portsmouth Lion Trail and hunt down the decorated lions making their way around the city. It’s a brilliant way to explore Portsmouth together, with a stop at the Cathedral along the way.
Try Your Hand at Brass Rubbing
Our brass rubbing trail is perfect for families. Follow the trail around the Cathedral and discover historic brasses hidden throughout the building. Brass rubbing kits are available to purchase from our shop, so you can take home your own piece of history.
Step Into the Past with Our My vill of Portsmouth Exhibition
Discover the stories of our city with the My vill of Portsmouth exhibition, running throughout the summer inside the Cathedral. A fascinating stop for visitors of all ages with interactive displays and pieces of our cities heritage on display.
Open All Summer, Entry by Donation
The Cathedral is open throughout the summer holidays, and entry is by donation, so you can enjoy a full day out exploring history, art, and architecture for whatever you’re able to give. It’s one of the most affordable family days out in Portsmouth.
