The Grand Procession

Be part of the fun by joining our Grand Procession!

Just turn up looking fabulous in your woodland themed costume and join our procession at the end of the day for a spectacular finish. Bring your camera and capture this unusual and highly memorable spectacle!

The procession will be at 4:00 pm on the day and having gathered people together, will start from the cloister of the abbey after our Morris Dancers have performed! They'll be joining in too!

We will pass through the old monastic parlour (or slype), turn left and head up the short slope to the view point and the accurate modern representation of the old arched windows of the abbey. We will follow the path east of the abbey ruins down past the elm tree, then the Lady Chapel, and around to the front of the church which we will enter through its main doors. We will go through the nave, just as the Canons of the abbey would have done hundreds of years ago, and finish our procession by passing under the giant floral arch situated in the choir! 

Ask at our information tent for more information and how to be involved!
