Order of Malta Walsingham Pilgrimage 2024

The pilgrimage to the Shrine of Our Lady in Walsingham, England’s Nazareth, has always been a firm favourite in the Order’s calendar. It is a wonderfully relaxed weekend and a great chance to chat and pray with volunteers and guests from all the branches of the Order. We are particularly pleased to welcome back our guests.

The weekend promises prayer, recollections and Mass, interspersed with a picnic in the grounds of the Abbey, a pilgrimage party, a superb post Mass lunch, and a chance to meet up with friends both old and new. Guests and volunteers will be staying in Elmham House, where the majority of meals are eaten.

The cost of the weekend is TBC, but should you be unable to join for the whole weekend you are more than welcome to join us on the Sunday for the Holy Mile procession, Mass and lunch.

There will be buses leaving from Stratford on Friday 13 and returning on Sunday 15, to select this mode of transport please select the drop down option on the booking form of ‘travelling with the OMV to the activity’. Once you have booked we will be in contact to verify your travel arrangements; this will help us to plan the care of our guests efficiently.

Please make your application for Walsingham as soon as you can; there is a 10% discount for those booking before 11th August, the spaces always fill up, so please book early to avoid disappointment! If your application has been unsuccessful, as we have limited spaced available in Elmham House, then your payment will be returned to you, I will also send you an email if that is the case. 

When booking please inform us if you need a new DBS as this can take some time to process ahead of the weekend, as there are still delays in the system. Without an-up-to date ENHANCED DBS, we will be unable to welcome you on this year's pilgrimage.

There are various prices for different applicants, and are to be confirmed by the organisers.

If you have any questions about the pilgrimage, accommodation enquiries etc., please do not hesitate to email Esther Ibbs (walsingham.pilgrimage@orderofmalta.org.uk).

We look forward to welcoming as many of you as possible to the 2023 pilgrimage to Walsingham.

Yours sincerely,

The Walsingham Team
