Will be visiting in October.
Are there workshops or similar, like ring making that I can do with my daughter?
Are the antique jewellers together ? We might choose a vintage piece for her if there’s no activities to do together.

There’s usually some things going on, but what is available varies, and right now there’s quite a lot closed… I don’t think any of the museums are open right now, for example.

The jewellers are quite close together, it’s a pretty small area to wonder around. Again, when I last went a few weeks ago, quite a few were still closed, but they are usually nice to wonder around and there’s lots of nice restaurants and bars nearby too.

Elizabeth Anne Norris Jewellery Making did run workshops, but stopped for COVID reasons, might be worth getting on the mailing list just in case they restart in time?

There are workshops, I can't name them of the top of my head. I would try a good old fashioned google search.

The JQ is beautiful, you can make it a full day out. There are many many shops they are sort it organised e.g. the diamond triangle. But it easy to walk around the quarter.

I would definitely recommend looking at St.Paul's churchyard. Other places worth a visit is the Coffin Works, and there are lots of lovely independent coffee shops to go to.

It is lovely place.
