LMS Pilgrimage to Walsingham 2023
This year's walking pilgrimage to Walsingham will gather on the afternoon of Thursday 24th August, with walking on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. There will be an extra Mass on Monday 28th in the Slipper Chapel at the Catholic Shrine for those who stay the night locally. Bishop Peter Collins East Anglia has given permission for us to have the Traditional Mass.
It's just over 20 miles walking on the first two days, and a bit less on the Sunday: shorter than the Chartres Pilgrimage.
Two new things this year
New venue to meet on Thursday 24th: We will be meeting on Thursday evening in a new venue: not the Methodist Hall but Ely Tigers Rugby Club, Downham Road, Ely CB6 2SH (near the Ely Leisure Village).
Pre-Pilgrimage from Cambridge to Ely, on Thursday 24th: The booking form gives the option of joining a small group of pilgrims walking from the Cambridge Blackfriars (Buckingham Road, Cambridge CB3 0DD) to Ely on Thursday, which is about 18 miles. Places are limited. Details in the Pilgrims’ Information
