This is an annual event, held on the 3rd Saturday in September.
All members of the Order along with their wives/partners, neighbours, friends and children are all welcome to attend the Pilgrimage.
There is no charge for the Pilgrimage.
Gentlemen – Jacket and Collar and Tie (of the Order preferred to aid identification) – Ladies dress accordingly. Neither swords nor any other regalia of the Order are worn although members are encouraged to wear the tie of the Order as an aid to identification at the Cathedral Gates as they waive the entrance fee for us.
Canterbury is well served by rail, coach and bus services and the Cathedral and the Pilgrims Hotel are both within comfortable walking distance of both railway stations and the bus/coach station. There are several Park and Ride schemes in Canterbury which come close to both the Hotel and the Cathedral and they are reasonably priced. They are the best bet for car drivers as parking in central Canterbury is both difficult and expensive. DISABLED DRIVERS – It is possible for a limited number of cars for those with Blue Badges to park in the Cathedral grounds – please contact Stan Brown (contact details below) at least 14 days before the event if you need details.
Accommodation is available at various local hotels (A list of hotels is available on request). It is the responsibility of any Knight wishing to stay to make their own arrangements and pay the hotel directly. Many Canterbury Hotels do very good three night deals which may be worth considering.
Please contact the Provincial Secretary
