Spend a beautiful afternoon at Whalley Abbey. We start with a guided meditative walk experiencing the history of the Abbey among the ruins and thinking about the spiritual heritage of the medieval Cistercian monastery. There will be points where we stop to pray. There are no seats but you are welcome to bring your own camping chair. After the tour, a decadent afternoon tea will be served in the grand Great Hall of the retreat house around 4 pm, and this is followed by optional evening prayer in the Chapel at 5.30 pm, reciting the psalms and prayers as the monks would have done.
