Holy Island is a very special place in the far North East of England, separated from the the rest of Northumberland by a 4 mile long causeway, which is covered by the North Sea for 5 hours at a time, twice a day.
As well as being a place of great natural beauty, Holy Island (also known as Lindisfarne) is the place where Christianity first arrived in England in 635 AD. It has been a place of pilgrimage ever since.
St Cuthbert’s Centre is at the heart of the Island, offering a welcome to many different visitors, and a prayerful space for individuals or groups.
We are pleased to say that the Centre is open most days for visitors to call in and enjoy the peaceful space. If, for any reason, the Centre is not open when you call or is being used by a private hirer, please rest awhile in the garden, enjoying the sights, sounds and scents you will experience there.
Our programme of special events is now under way with Events ranging from exhibitions, through workshops and music to quiet days and reflective walks. We will update the website regularly – and our Facebook page too – with more details. In addition we will have some leaflets for Awareness Trails and Pilgrimage Walks around the island. We also have an indoor Pilgrimage Trail while, on the website, our Blog also has some entries to inspire and help.
On behalf of the United Reformed Church the Management Group are privileged to exercise a ministry of hospitality to visitors to the island. Please take time to explore this site and we hope that we can welcome you to St Cuthbert’s soon.
