Get ready for a blooming summer adventure at Winchester Cathedral! Inspired by the upcoming Wild! Festival of Flowers, our interactive Summer Family Trail invites children to discover the world of plants, flowers and gardens through a series of hands-on activities around the Cathedral.
Pick up a trail sheet on arrival and follow the clues to take part in a range of fun challenges and games, including:
🌸 Running your own flower shop and creating bouquets for customers
🌱 Sorting plants into the different types of gardens once grown by the Cathedral’s monks
👃 Using your sense of smell to identify dried herbs and flowers, inspired by Jane Austen’s love of pressing flowers and drying herbs
🐞 Helping to prepare a garden by placing bugs in the right places and learning why they are so important to nature
💐 Creating stunning floral displays by arranging flowers in decorative vases
🔍 Discovering the language of flowers and using a special flower alphabet to decode secret messages
Perfect for curious young minds, the trail encourages families to explore, learn and play together while discovering the Cathedral in a new way.
Collect your trail sheet when you arrive and start your summer of discovery! 🌿🌼
