Westminster Abbey and Coronavirus (COVID-19)
The Abbey remains open for worship and you are welcome to join us at our daily Eucharist service if you are able to travel here safely within current government guidelines.
However, for the time being we are unable to open the Abbey and St Margaret’s Church for general visiting.
Schools Programme
Westminster Abbey offers a wealth of great learning experiences for schools. Although it may be difficult for you to visit this autumn term, we are taking for bookings from January 2021 onwards and will still be running out special event weeks in 2021.
