When:
The Canterbury Pilgrimage will take place from the 12th to the 14th July 2024.
Cost:
Historically, volunteers pay the entrance fee (to be determined for 2024) as helping is considered as a way of doing the pilgrimage. However, finances are not a reason to not go on the pilgrimage , so if someone wants to go and cannot afford to, then we would look to accommodate for that.
If a helper has to use their own vehicle as part of the running of the pilgrimage (on the day) then we would reimburse fuel. But we tend to limit this to the minimum amount of vehicles required so as reduce our costs.
