Four days of events to celebrate St Cuthbert’s Day from 20th to 23rd March
Holy Island is a very special place in the far North East of England, separated from the rest of Northumberland by a 4 mile long causeway, which is covered by the North Sea for 5 hours at a time, twice a day.
As well as being a place of great natural beauty, Holy Island (also known as Lindisfarne) is the place where Christianity first arrived in England in 635 AD. It has been a place of pilgrimage ever since.
St Cuthbert’s Centre is at the heart of the Island, offering a welcome to many different visitors, and a prayerful space for individuals or groups. The Centre is open most days for visitors to call in and enjoy the peaceful space. If, for any reason, the Centre is not open when you call or is being used by a private hirer, please rest awhile in the garden, which is now looking really colourful.
Our new minister, Revd Kay Blackwell, arrived in early August 2024 and she is looking forward to meeting you when you are on the island.
As well as our ministry of hospitality, particularly to visitors to the island, we also have an exciting programme of Events planned through this year. Full information is in the Events section here on the website or check our Facebook page for up to date news.
To help you enjoy the sights, sounds and scents you will experience on the island, we have a number of leaflets for Awareness Trails and Pilgrimage Walks around the island. You can opick up a copy in the Centre. They range from a short, gentle stroll to a rather longer exploration and are offered to help you experience the very special atmosphere of the island. We also have an indoor Pilgrimage Trail while, on the website, our Blog also has some entries to inspire and help.
There is currently some availability for the Bothy in April and early May 2025 and anyone interested should contact the Bookings Administrator for more information.
We hope that we can welcome you to St Cuthbert’s soon.
