Take the kids to explore St Paul's Cathedral for free this summer

School's out for summer, and one of London's best-loved landmarks has launched an incredible deal to help you entertain your little ones for less. From now until 4 September, under-18s go free at St Paul's Cathedral, where they'll discover an array of arty activities and hidden histories.

With this new ticket offer, one full-paying adult or concession can bring up to three children inside the 346-year-old architectural marvel at no additional cost. Here, you've got the chance to explore the Cathedral's most special nooks and crannies on a drop-in family tour — highlights include hunting the animals hiding in the building's architecture, and a visit to the spellbinding Geometric Staircase, which cameoed in one of the Harry Potter films. 

There's also the new Family Zone, where kids can get crafty and explore the past with a costumed storyteller, plus one or two pop-up displays inspired by the Cathedral's 2021 theme of Creation, Craft, and Creativity. What's more, because the city is quieter right now, you can discover these hidden gems at a lovely, leisurely pace. Advance booking is recommended — just enter the code KGF2021 at checkout to redeem your free kids' tickets.
