Family Storytelling: Commonwealth
Settle in for amazing stories inspired by the current Commonwealth theme “Together We Thrive”.
Drop into Chapter House and enjoy tales of family, unity and peace. Together, let’s discover through video and crafts how the Commonwealth and Westminster Abbey are connected and what makes them so unique and remarkable.
Each March the Abbey hosts the Commonwealth Day Service, celebrating the Abbey’s role as the church of the Commonwealth supporting His Majesty The King’s role as Head of the Commonwealth, a family of 56 nations.
