Youth Pilrimage to Walsingham returns for 2022

The Walsingham Youth Pilgrimage returns for a week of lively worship, teaching, fellowship and fun for 11-18 year olds.

Over 500 young people gather in Walsingham for the week from all over the UK and internationally, giving them a chance to meet other Christians and explore their faith in a safe environment. The traditional pilgrimage devotions are presented in an up beat, lively and enjoyable way which makes them relevant for our young people in today’s world.

Over the years the youth pilgrimage has changed the lives of countless young people who have never forgotten their week in Walsingham. Many of them have come to love the Shrine and to make the pilgrimage ever since.
