It is recommended not to bring your car to the pilgrimage. If it is necessary to bring your car, note that this is under your responsibility and the pilgrimage does not provide drivers to move the car from one campsite to another. Cars cannot be left during the day at the campsites.

There are parking facilities at Rochester, however the pilgrimage does not arrange or reserve parking for pilgrims.

Unfortunately, the campsites are closed during the day time, and cars will be towed away if left during these close times.

Yes, this year the pilgrimage has created a new route that will be entirely pramproof. To follow this route, please register to the Family Chapter.
