Dear Friends and Prospective Pilgrims,
Chartres sonne, Chartres t'appelle! Registrations with Chartres UK are open!
We are delighted to invite you to the 44th Chartres Pilgrimage. We hope you are able to join us for this unforgettable pilgrimage in honour of Our Blessed Mother. The theme of this year’s pilgrimage is “You will be My Witnesses to the Ends of the Earth". The date of the pilgrimage is 23rd-25th May 2026. We have added an additional chapter and a second coach to try to satisfy demand for this beautiful Pilgrimage. 100 places have already been taken! Do sign up soon!
Coaches from London
This year we will have two coaches leaving London.
Coach 1: One coach will be leaving Brompton Oratory, London on Friday, 22nd May after the 8am Mass at 8.45am sharp.
Coach 2: A second coach will depart from a location close to St Mary Magdalen Church in Clapham: 96 North Side, London SW18 2QU. There will be Mass at 8.30am and the coach will aim to leave by 9.15am. Note due to hotel room allocations in Chartres, this coach would be best suited to families (although not for families joining a "family" chapter).
Cost
The coach package cost of the pilgrimage is £330 (plus £80 for a single room supplement, subject to availability). Children under 12 are £150. This includes hotel accommodation just outside Paris (B&B) on Friday night and in Chartres on Tuesday night (DBB). Please note all under 18s need to be accompanied by a parent or a responsible older relative.
The cost for those travelling independently wanting to walk in an English Chapter is £10 (this includes a hymn/prayer booklet (including all of the mass propers) and a contribution towards the cost of receiver/speaker device (to hear the meditations etc. during the pilgrimage).
Please do not delay registering even if you are not intending travelling on the coach as there will be limited spaces available in the chapters and these may close early if we are oversubscribed.
