As part of the celebrations, the Abbey will be open to visitors from 10am to 4pm. Explore the Abbey with tours included at set times throughout the day, and step back into medieval life as you watch a moneyer at work, striking coins by hand. Children can enjoy a fun trail across the grounds, making the day enjoyable for all ages.

Discover the Abbey’s fascinating history as the burial site of the first Archbishops of Canterbury, and delve deeper with our complimentary audio guide, bringing the Abbey’s past vividly to life.
