Attention, LEGO® fans! This Easter (Monday 6 – Saturday 11 April 2026), York Minster is inviting families to get hands-on with history in the most creative way possible. Teaming up with LEGO® artist Warren Elsmore, you can help recreate the magnificent medieval shrine of St William of York, one brick at a time. How fun is that?!!
Drop in and become part of the build, designing your own section to be added to a growing large-scale LEGO® model. It’s creative, collaborative and a brilliant way to bring York’s history to life for younger visitors. It’s one of our top picks for kids this Easter in York – don’t miss it.
Make the most of your Minster visit
Once you’ve finished building, there’s plenty more to explore around the Minster, including:
- – Little Explorer Backpacks (free!) – Pick one up from the Welcome Desk and use the gadgets and tools to help you explore the Minster in a fun, hands-on way.
- – York Minster Quest Trail – Free to collect, the trail is perfect for keeping little minds busy as you wander.
- – Undercroft Museum – Step back in time beneath the Minster. Meet Roman soldiers, handle real artefacts and even try your hand at rebuilding Norman architecture.
- – Immersive underground cinema – See the lost shrine of St William brought back to life using cutting-edge 3D technology. This is brilliant for older kids and teens.
Good to know before you go
- Tickets are valid for 12 months, so you can come back again and again.
- All children go free
- York residents also go free – just take proof of residence.
