Wonderlings is a Christ Church initiative to encourage young families (pre-school children from birth and their adults) to engage with the Cathedral and its community, enabling them to benefit from all it has to offer as a distinctive and sacred place. 

Join our free weekly sessions with refreshments on Mondays in term-time from 10 am - 12 noon in the Priory Rooms.

At a Wonderlings session you will find friendly faces and warm hearts ready to greet, support and encourage you and your little ones through the joys and challenges of the pre-school years. Music is our focus with a chance to sing, play instruments, dance and enjoy sound and music together.

You’re never too young - or old - to wonder. We are all born with the capacity to wonder, but as we grow older it so often gets lost, buried under heaps of busy-ness, responsibility and stress. We hope that a Wonderlings session will awaken a sense of curiosity and awe in everyone - whatever their age and stage.
