Make Your Own Sea Shell Turtle

Every Wednesday from 31 July – 28 August, from 10am-12pm

Get creative this summer and make a sea shell turtle using a scallop shell which is a common symbol of pilgrimage.

You can also pick up one of our free Pilgrimage Activity Sheets to learn more about pilgrimages including what they are and why pilgrims came to Exeter Cathedral to visit Bishop’s Lacy tomb.

This activity is included in standard Cathedral admission.

“Exeter Cathedral is architecture as theatre.”

“A lovely way to spend the afternoon for the whole family.”

“Really lovely, and unexpectedly ‘wow.’”

“I am in a wheelchair, but I could see everything (pretty much!)”

“Well worth the sore neck from time spent looking heavenwards!”

“An oasis of calm…”

“A beautiful choir sang the mass and all the people were friendly and welcoming.”
