The Heart of England Pilgrimage 2024

Day 15: Celebration Day in Peterborough

Our celebration day starts relatively early with our Arrival Service in the Cathedral before it opens to visitors. We can return to visit the Cathedral and see the Monsters of the Sea exhibition, and explore the city. In the evening we join the parish mass at nearby St Peter and All Souls church, before returning to St Mary's for our celebration meal.
