Beyond Victory Family Activity: Spread your wings
Flock together for a gentle session of bird crafts, trails and stories as we consider peace through the symbol of birds.
Nestle in with storyteller and author, Margaret Bateson-Hill, to share in bird tales (and possibly tails) in our historic Chapter House.
Get eagle-eyed, and nimble fingered, as you help us craft one thousand origami cranes as we reflect on lessons learned from conflict.
Wing it round the historic cloisters to find every stop on our Bird Trail.
This is a drop-in event with the same stories repeated at 10.30am, 11.30am and 12.30pm. Trail and craft will run throughout.
Additional information
We imagine that there will be between 60 and 90 minutes of activity during this drop-in session.

Beyond Victory season
This event is part of the Beyond Victory season. On VE - or Victory in Europe - Day in May 1945, Westminster Abbey hosted thanksgiving services every hour, welcoming an estimated 25,000 people. Join us this May and June as we unpack life beyond victory, with a season of events about rebuilding society and the legacy of conflict.
