PRACTICAL PILGRIM DAYS

Practical Pilgrim days follow a similar pattern wherever the location, varied according to local circumstances. It is a chance for those planning to make the pilgrimage to learn from those who have recently returned. The day generally runs from 10.00 a.m. until 3 or 4.00 p.m. (but see actual timings below). A general session of questions and answers leads into more specific groups for walkers and cyclists. A walk or visit may allow people to get to know each other and a talk and meal together is organised for the evening. Often there is a Sunday walk for those wanting to stay the whole weekend. It is helpful if people come prepared with some questions to ask from their own pilgrimage preparation. A £5 charge is usually made to cover costs.

Please book in advance: follow the link below each event for the booking form.
