pilgrims in the vale

Pilgrim Forum

The Pilgrim Forum meets three times a year. The pilgrim incumbents are joined by one representative from each of the 19 parishes.

The forum has responsibility for organising the annual pilgrimage (usually in June) and the church presence at the Sturminster Newton Cheese Festival held over the second weekend in September.

The forum also encourages joint teaching and training programmes across the 19 parishes.
