Young people are a vital and very visible part of the life of the Cathedral. The Youth Education Group aims to care for and support young people.  All people, the young and the not so young, gather at the Altar to receive the Bread of Life or a Blessing.

The babies' playroom situated in the Chapter House is available during the service on Sunday. If young kids (0-3) need a break from the service, parents might like tio take some time out int he Chapter House.  The Service is relayed to the Chaapter House, so wheren you are there you can still listen to the service.

The Toddler Group meets every Friday morning from 9.30am - 11.30am in the Walpole Hall. It is a place where local parents and carers can meet up for coffee and where their children have the much needed opportunity to race around , be creative and enjoy a sing-song.
