Self-led visits

Westminster Abbey and Coronavirus (COVID-19)

The Abbey is no longer open for public worship, general visiting or private prayer. Meanwhile, the community of Abbey clergy, privately and following guidance given, will sustain the worship of a building that has been a witness to God’s grace and glory for over a thousand years.

Group sizes

If you're bringing a Key Stage 1 class, you'll need at least one teacher or helper to every five pupils – and for Key Stage 2 classes, at least one teacher or helper to every ten pupils.

Large groups of students will need to be split, with the entry times staggered to avoid overcrowding.
