Pilgrimage to St Albans Cathedral
There are options for taking part in this joyful annual event. Join our group for the whole day, taking the 9.34am train from Bedford to Harpenden. Or drive and park at St John's Harpenden, AL5 1DJ, where we will gather at 10.30am. From there we will enjoy a gentle cross-country walk to the Abbey.
Alternatively, make your own way to St Albans and join the group at lunchtime in the Orchard for a picnic lunch before the procession at 2pm and service at 3pm.
Dogs welcome!
Find out more about the pilgrimage on the cathedral website. Sign up on the sheets at the back of Church so we know to expect you.
