EASTER 2025 Walking to Walsingham in the love of Christ, praying as a community.

Choose a Group

Pilgrim Cross is an inclusive Easter pilgrimage for all Christians. Whether joining virtually or walking for one, three or seven days our pilgrimage has options to suit all physical abilities, ages and levels of faith. We build community with those we walk alongside and the communities who host us on our way. This journey culminates on Good Friday where we join together, young and old, to celebrate the Easter weekend in Walsingham – an ancient site of pilgrimage. Whether you are looking to deepen your faith, find like-minded people or just taking some time to think, there’s something for everyone.

My most valued friendships were made on Pilgrim Cross.

X-Leg Feedback

“what a fantastic week that was!”

X-Leg Feedback

Grace - Essex Leg

Pilgrim cross… is not so easy to describe in words… I was most impressed with the singing, drinking and laughter - I realised that faith was not only about attending mass, reading the Bible, fasting and so on, it could also be spontaneous and celebrated in many ways.
