About Walsingham

The Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham has been a place of pilgrimage since 1061. Following a vision in which she was taken to Nazareth, a woman called Richeldis built a replica of the house where Mary received the angel’s visit. The Anglican Shrine was restored after the Reformation in
1931 and the Holy House is still at the heart of the pilgrimage, a place of prayer that reminds us how God breaks into ordinary lives with his extraordinary power.

The Programme

• The pilgrimage kicks off on the Monday Night with introductions and opening worship, followed by a Barbecue and Disco.
• During the week we'll be exploring and experiencing the Eucharist in challenging and inspiring ways.
• Each morning there is a Bible Study led by Bishop Lindsay.
• On one evening we have ‘late-night worship’ when anything might happen!
• There will be a chance to enjoy traditional pilgrimage devotions such as Sprinkling with water from the Holy Well and the barefoot mile.
• The Café will be open all day, a place to mix, play games, listen to music and enjoy drinks and snacks.
• As well as the worship, there are workshops and a programme of social events including an Evening Barbecue and Disco.
