Commonwealth family tour
Join a family friendly tour of Westminster Abbey to discover how the Abbey supports the King in his role as Head of the Commonwealth.
In this special tour of the Abbey, children and their grown-ups will encounter traditions, objects and stories to reveal how the Abbey serves the 56 nations of the Commonwealth.
