Summer holidays: Birds, bees and butterflies

Celebrate summer at Kirkstall Abbey during the school holidays with our birds, bees and butterflies trail.

Dotted around the ruins will be a range of butterflies, bees and birds for you to find. There will also be themed activities popping up throughout the holidays.

Don’t miss our informal audio guide which takes you through key parts of the abbey and uncovers histories of its former inhabitants.
