Hands on History Museum

Sleepover at Hull Minster

For the first time ever, Hull Minster is opening it’s doors overnight and they have kindly invited us to attend the first ever Hull Minster Sleepover! Hull Minster is an amazing 700 year old building and is pretty incredible for history as well as the architecture. Everyone will get to go on a tour and learn about the history of the Minster, enjoy a chat about the unique architecture of the Minster, write a prayer of thanks, and take part in some interesting activities and crafts. There is an audio tour available as well if anyone would prefer this. There are artifacts to look at and hold and some archeological digging to be done to find some artifacts! We may even be able to go up the bell tower! This sleepover is aimed at Squirrels, Beavers and Cubs and will offer everyone the chance to gain a night away, work towards the Faith badges and Local Knowledge. Sections will need to bring enough adult volunteers to meet their section ratios. Every adult volunteer will need to have a valid DBS in place and must have completed their Safety and Safeguarding training. Details of this can be found under My Membership on the Scouts website, or email for more details. The Minster was recently vandalised, and they need to raise a lot of money to do the repairs. They have have reached out to us to offer this amazing opportunity for our young people. Event details Groups are to meet outside Hull Minster on Sunday 30th August ready to enter at 6pm.
