Bishop Ruth will be leading three pilgrimages for young people during 2025. We will be walking and talking, praying and praising, enjoying hospitality and reflecting on God’s word in ancient places of worship and natural beauty.

The three pilgrimages will be in different places and for different groups of people:

1. Saturday 28th – Sunday 29th June
   Weekend pilgrimage walk, on the South Downs, in the Amberley – Steyning area, with overnight stay near Storrington.
   For secondary school age young people
2. Saturday 12th July
   Day pilgrimage walk, ending at the Cathedral, with supper at the Bishop’s Palace, plus optional overnight stay at the Palace.
   For young adults aged 18-30 
3. Saturday 11th October
   Day pilgrimage walk near Alfriston.
   For secondary school age young people

The costs for all the pilgrimages will be kept to an absolute minimum, and bursaries will be available for any young person/young adult for whom the ticket price is prohibitive.
Further details, including how to book places, will be available in November 2024.
