District Pilgrimage 2026

The West Midlands District have organised a six-day Pilgrimage in Hereford over Easter Week, 5-10 April 2026.

Are you part of the West Midlands Methodist District? Would you like to pause,

connect and deepen your faith journey?

Join us from 5-10 April 2026 for a gentle and reflective pilgrimage. You will

connect with a “pilgrim community” of up to 12 people, gathering in Hereford

(accessible by train) on the evening of Easter Sunday and finishing in Hereford

the following Friday.

During this six-day experience, we will walk, pray and eat together and share

sleeping space in a number of Methodist and Anglican Churches. Luggage

(including your airbed / camp-bed and bedding) will be transferred each day.

Mileage will be around 7 to 11 miles, taken at a gentle pace on rural routes that

may include stiles. We will share cooking within the group.

This is now a “tried and tested” formula which has been greatly appreciated by

previous pilgrims. Being willing to be part of a short-term community is far

more important than being super-fit, providing you can manage a modest

amount of walking over a number of consecutive days, followed by nights on a

church floor! The pilgrimage will be led by a small team of previous pilgrims.

If means allow, we suggest a contribution of £140 to the kitty to cover food,

accommodation and luggage transfer. Unfortunately, the living arrangements

mean we cannot include children and young people, though they will be

welcome to join us as accompanied day walkers (details later).

Numbers are strictly limited so if you are interested in joining the group this

year, please don’t delay.
