To Book Brigid’s Way Celtic Pilgrimage
This is an epic life changing journey and we are honoured that you are walking with us in the footsteps of Brigid, Celtic Goddess and Matron Saint of Ireland with our ancestors.
The full 9 Day Celtic Pilgrimage will be organised and led by different Brigid’s Way volunteers each day from the 22nd – 30th July 2023. You may sign up for all 9 days (please note there are only 25 places on the full Pilgrimage due to accommodation limits) OR you may join us for Day 1 and/or Day 9 including Brigid ceremony and ritual.
Accommodation:
We have arranged comfortable low-cost venues along the route and our administration will help you book this smoothly once you sign up so no need to do this before we talk with you. Bed & Breakfast is usually about €50.00-€90.00 x 9 days. Please note that these accommodation costs are not included in the sign-up price below.
Food:
In general lunch will be around €5.00 and dinner approx. €18.00-€20.00 each day x 9 so you may budget for this. Again, these are extra costs from the sign-up price.
Preparation:
We encourage you to read through the whole website especially the Routes section and the Brigid’s Code before paying. We will be organising monthly Zoom calls to answer any questions you may have from March 2023.
Full 9 Days Pilgrimage 22nd to 30th July 2023
Below you will see the links where you sign up to walk the full 9 day walking Pilgrimage beginning at Brigid’s birthplace in Faughart, Co. Louth finishing in her Monastic city, Kildare from the 22nd – 30th July 2023.
In 2023, we have introduced some new initiatives bringing Brigid’s Way closer to other pilgrims route practices. We will have a different volunteer Leader each day who has walked the Pilgrimage and can share their unique experiences.
We are inviting all 9 day pilgrims to consider asking friends and family for €150.00 sponsorship to help with funding, build community and offer support during the Pilgrimage days (this is optional but recommended).
We are delighted to say that the 2023 Brigid’s Way 9 Day Pilgrimage is open for booking from Imbolg 1st February. In May we will be opening up the invitation for others to walk with us on Day 1 Faughart to Dundalk and Day 9 Pollardstown Fen to Brigid’s Garden Well (see below).
