Families in York are invited to a special edition of the weekly Minster Mice service at York Minster on Wednesday, 29 April 2026. The event, which runs from 9:30am to 10:30am in St Stephen’s Chapel, will feature a guest reading from the Archbishop of York, the Most Rev. Stephen Cottrell.
Minster Mice is a regular programme designed specifically for babies and pre-school aged children and their parents or carers. The sessions provide a space for friendship, fun, and spiritual support through songs, stories, and play. The Archbishop is expected to join the children at 10am to read a story during the hour-long session.
This weekly gathering is part of a broader programme of family activities hosted by the cathedral, which also includes Sunday School held on the first Sunday of each month and seasonal Minster Mash-Up services. Attendance for Minster Mice is free and no booking is required for families who wish to join.
The service takes place in St Stephen’s Chapel, located in the historic cathedral. For further information on this and other community events, residents can visit the official York Minster website.
