Blackburn Cathedral — Attraction in England

We visited for the first time with our children to explore the early years art installation in the crypt. The actual Catherdal building is stunning..we entered via the main entrance and were greeted by some very friendly priests who directed us to the lift as we had a buggy. Downstairs there's a very nice looking cafe with a small play area outside for smaller tots and some very clean and modern toilets. We didn't have time to visit there but we definitely will be back. There were other events advertised so it seems to have lots of family friendly things to do. Definitely worth a visit. We'd driven in and parked at the nearby shopping center which is a 5m walk if that but the car park is a nightmare. The train station is the same distance as is the bus station. Would use public...

Giving one star because the woman performing the vaccination to my non-English parents told us that I can't be the interpreter because I'm a relative, even though we had no issues with me as an interpreter during the first dose.

Occasionally, there are quarter peals rung from 2.45 p.m. to 4 p.m. before Evensong. Visitors, both ringers and non ringers, are always welcome to join...
