Meals
Do I have to buy my meals on site?
No, you can make your own arrangements.
Can I buy individual meal tokens?
Yes, but please make clear which days and meals (lunch or evening meal) you require.
Can you cater for special diets?
Our caterer is experienced in providing meals for those with special needs (e.g. coeliacs) but we must know in advance.
On the day of the Procession and Priory Mass, can I have lunch in the village of Little Walsingham instead?
Yes, there are many places in Little Walsingham to eat, but it can be very busy on the day of the Priory Mass, and people often struggle to get a meal. Elmham House (formerly the Pilgrims' Bureau) have a large capacity dining hall and are especially preparing a two-course meal, plus tea and coffee, after the Priory Mass on this day. The cost of this will be £7.65 and is payable directly to Elmham House. Please contact them directly if you wish to book this: 01328 820217.
Please remember to cancel and get a refund of your New Dawn meal voucher for Wednesday lunch in advance if you wish to eat in the village, or omit the Wednesday lunch meal when filling in the registration form.
