Family Days Out in Canterbury
|
Come to Canterbury for a great family day out where you can explore one of the most famous and ancient towns in England. Any visit to the town must include a trip to the stunning Canterbury Cathedral home of the Church of England and which forms part of a World Heritage Site with over a million visitors a year. Canterbury Cathedral became a site of pilgrimage for Christians worldwide following the murder of Thomas Becket in 1170 and it was this pilgrimage that inspired the theme of Geoffrey Chaucer’s famous 'Canterbury Tales'. These tales are brought to life at one of Kent’s most popular attractions The Canterbury Tales at St Margaret’s Church where you’ll discover a series of amazing exhibits and actors that bring to life Chaucer’s timeless tales. Those whose interest has been piqued by these attractions should also venture to the Museum of Canterbury where they can learn more about the city and its historical origins, while those with younger family members looking for something different can head to the same place for their ancillary Rupert Bear Museum which has all manner of fun activities relating to the child’s comic-strip favourite. Whatever you look for in a family day out Canterbury is sure to have it! |
