MORE than 600 youngsters have been learning about the abolition of slavery through a project at Worcester Cathedral.

The event culminated in performances with actors from the Big In-tent Theatre Company.

The scheme is part of the 1,000th anniversary celebrations of the birth of St Wulfstan, who founded the city's original Saxon cathedral.

The participating schools were Blessed Edward Oldcorne Catholic College, Worcester, Malvern St James, Baxter College, Kidderminster, St Augustine's RC High School, Redditch, the King's School, Worcester and Dodderhill School, Droitwich.
