Step into the stories of the past with this fascinating tour through the Cathedral churchyard – part of Heritage Open Days, England’s largest festival of history and culture. Was Queen Victoria truly unamused by her visits to Newcastle? Why does a ‘Vampire Rabbit’ overlook the Cathedral? And are the legends true that a pirate is buried in the Cathedral grounds?

Delve into these mysteries on this fun-filled mini-tour, which lasts approximately 25-30 minutes.

FREE to attend – Suggested donation £5 per adult / £3 per child (under 16). Your generosity helps us care for this historic building, support our community work, and keep the Cathedral open for everyone.

Recommended for ages 6+. To help us tailor the experience, please let us know the ages of any children in your group when booking. Pre-booking is not compulsory; however, please be aware that each tour has limited spaces available.
