Pilgrimage FAQ’s
What do I need to bring?
The list may vary for each pilgrimage so check the individual details. However, we generally recommend: Appropriate footwear and weather protection (waterproofs or sun cream). Packed lunch, water bottle or thermos flask.
Anything required for wild loo stops (your guide will be able to recommend some good spots if no toilets are available). A staff or walking stick are not essential but are a recognised symbol of the pilgrim. Some pilgrims like to bring snacks to share with other pilgrims too.
Are there fitness or access limitations?
Pilgrimage is moderately intense. If you struggle to walk all day, this type of pilgrimage may be an unsuitable activity for you right now. There are always plenty of escape points en route. But we will walk slowly, and start early, giving us time to walk the distance. Where relevant you’ll find additional information about accessibility in the full event entry.

Can I bring my dog?
Sadly not – we can’t accommodate dogs on our guided pilgrimages. However, if you have a registered assistance dog, they are welcome.
What is my ticket price paying for, in addition to admission?
The funds raised from this limited space event allow the team at British Pilgrimage Trust (a registered charity) to spend more time making it possible for thousands of pilgrims to make pilgrimage themselves by engaging with our ever-increasing range of free resources.
