Forthcoming events


Saturday 2nd March - Encountering Christ in Ely Cathedral

A guided Parish Pilgrimage and visit to Ely Cathedral

This is a wonderful opportunity to visit Ely Cathedral as a group from Linton and to experience a Pilgrimage together. We start with lighting a candle at the West door. The group then moves to 8 stations (sacred pauses) all within the Cathedral. There is an order of service, and stations include hymns as poetry and prayer. The primary purpose is worship though the Guide will include some information about the history of the Cathedral and this has been a place of pilgrimage for hundreds of years.

There is usually seating at all the stations and the whole visit is wheelchair accessible.

Timing: Meet at 3.15pm tea & biscuits in the Cathedral.
4pm Pilgrimage starts and lasts 80 minutes.
Transport: Cars (sharing transport if possible). We can give car parking (free) info nearer the time if needed including disabled access parking close to the cathedral (but this must be booked well in advance as there are other events in the cathedral that day).

People can arrive earlier in the day and stay on after the Pilgrimage.
Also on 2 March, there is an exhibition - Celebration of Bridal Gowns in The Lady Chapel - generally open 10am-4pm.
5.30pm Evensong.
7pm Concert – The music of John Williams and Star Wars – International Film Orchestra.

There is no charge for the Parish Pilgrimage. Also, as we are in the Diocese, admission to the Lady Chapel for the exhibition is free. If you still have your parish pass, take it along even if it is out of date, or you may need proof of address.
Information about Evensong will be available nearer the time.
Ticket information about the evening concert is on the Cathedral website The Music of John Williams & Star Wars - Ely Cathedral

If you would like to come, please email Sue Mudge sue.mudge@stmaryslinton.org.uk or phone 01223 892737 by 27 February at the latest.

About Events at St Mary's

We have a thriving Events Committee which organises events with the aim of having fun together and blessing those in our local community.

The Events Committee is a sub committee of the PCC whose remit is to support the social life of the church and provide fund raising events. We have a very active committee of people who really enjoy each other’s company and arranging events as diverse as: curry and pudding evenings, day trips and a murder mystery evening.

A large part of our function is to support the service pattern of our church by arranging bring and share meals and refreshments after key services such as the Christmas carol service.

We are always happy to welcome those who would like to help at events.
