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

The traditional pilgrimage devotions are presented in an upbeat, lively and enjoyable way which makes them relevant for our young people in today’s world. 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. Over the years it has changed the lives of countless young people who have never forgotten their week in Walsingham and many of them have come to love the Shrine and to make the pilgrimage ever since.

The 2025 theme is ‘Credo - Seeing Jesus through Mary’s eyes’.

What is a ‘creed’ and why do we say it? What does it mean for us to say that ‘we believe’? What does the Creed teach us about Jesus?

We will be exploring these questions and much more during the week as we explore the Nicene Creed - a bold declaration of faith that unites believers around the world and has been passed down through generations since the 4th century.
