We are pleased to announce that bookings are open for our Roses Walking Pilgrimage this August.

We will be walking from Middlesborough to Blackburn to celebrate the centenary of the parish church of St Mary the Virgin in Blackburn becoming a Cathedral. The pilgrimage will take place from August 15th to August 30th 2026. It will start in St Mary’s Roman Catholic Cathedral which was built in 1985, pass by Ripon Cathedral and end at Blackburn Cathedral – a relatively new Cathedral on an ancient site. The pilgrimage is open to anyone aged 18+. Come and join us, meet new friends and walk through some breathtaking countryside
