Bringing children — of any age, and however wriggly — is a joy here, not a problem to be managed. This path covers what to expect on a Sunday, the groups that run midweek, singing in the choir, the shape of the year for families, and the care taken to keep every child safe.

1. 1 Children, families and young people What happens for children at Sunday services, the mid-week groups for every age, joining the choir, and how safeguarding is handled.
2. 2 Worship at the Minster The four Sunday services and the rhythm of the week, with what to expect at each — and baptisms, weddings and funerals.
3. 3 Music in worship Why the Minster offers such a broad musical palette, how choral and contemporary traditions sit together, the choir, the Snetzler organ, and how to take part.
4. 4 The Christian year The seasons of the church year, their colours and meaning, and the particular Minster moments worth coming to at least once.
5. 5 Community life beyond Sunday A directory of the Minster’s mid-week life — reflective, learning, eating-together, and active groups — for someone wanting more than Sunday.
6. 6 Safeguarding What safeguarding really is, the Minster’s commitment to being a church for everyone, what we are committed to, and who to contact with a concern.

Not a gate, just a suggested order — jump in or out whenever you like.
