Pilgrimage and Treasure Hunt around Castleton village and church. 8 stations following the events of Jesus' life, from the Nativity to Pentecost. A short Bible reading, reflection and prayer at each station, together with a locally-based question to solve.
On Ascension Day 2025 (29th May) there will be congregation members in St Edmund's Church to chat and to give out small prizes (while stocks last) to anyone completing all 8 stations.
We hope you will be blessed by this adventure.
