Heritage Week: Family Workshop (Build Your Own Cathedral)

Join us for fun, family-friendly workshops exploring the history and heritage of our 800-year old cathedral! Become a medieval builder in this family workshop focused on architecture and engineering!

Saint Patrick’s Cathedral is the largest Cathedral in Ireland, built over 800 years ago by the Normans. Explore how the medieval stonemasons raised the building block by block and learn all about the technology and artistry behind gothic cathedrals!

After a short architecture and history tour of the building, try your hand at creating your own mini cathedral! Experiment with different craft materials and see who can build the most magnificent architectural creation.

This workshop is a wonderful way to explore history and STEM topics together as a family. It is recommended for children aged 6 and up. All children must be accompanied by an adult.

Workshops run for approximately 50 minutes. Booking is essential.

This highly sought-after event fills up quickly, so booking in advance is essential to secure your place. If your preferred session is sold out, don’t despair.
