Blackburn Diocese Pilgrim Experience

Become part of a pilgrim group on a guided walk tracing a spiritual path between Whalley Abbey and Blackburn Cathedral. Gather ready to walk at Whalley Abbey chapel for a pilgrim blessing at 9.30 am. The day ends with dinner and a pilgrimage-themed talk at the Abbey. The price includes a packed lunch and train back to Whalley. It is suggested that you leave your car at the Abbey for the day.

Why not extend the experience with an overnight stay in one of our comfortable rooms either the night before or after, with a full breakfast to make up for all those miles walked! On the ticketing website you can choose either the day option for £40 or the residential packet for £118. You can also enquire about an additional breakfast on the day of the walk by emailing bookings@whalleyabbey.org.
