Youth Pilgrimage

Ely Cathedral and Diocese are inviting young people from our churches in school years 7 to 11 to gather together for a Pilgrimage at the beginning of July and spend 24 hours together in the Cathedral and precincts.

They will be sleeping in tents in the Bishop's Garden, eating in their very own refectory ‘Dining Tent’ and worshipping in the spectacular presbytery of the Cathedral. Other activities and workshops will explore the theme Journeying Together.

The Ely Youth Pilgrimage is organised by a team from the Diocese and the Cathedral and begins late afternoon of Friday 4 July, ending on the afternoon of Saturday 5 July. Local church youth leaders are welcome to register and accompany their young people.

For more information, please take a moment to read the FAQs and draft timetable.
