Family Tour: Commonwealth
Join us for a family friendly tour to discover how Westminster Abbey supports His Majesty The King in his role as Head of the Commonwealth.
On this special family-friendly tour, walk in the King's footsteps to look out for clues that reveal how the Abbey serves an international family of nations. For curious children (and their grown-ups), you’ll hear stories about unusual animals and plants, get up close with a real flag from one of the Commonwealth nations, encounter traditions that have been passed down through generations, and find out about events that celebrate culture from around the world.
