You are most welcome to attend any of these short mid-week services which are held throughout the year. By setting aside these times each day to say the Daily Offices of prayer and praise, we are continuing in the tradition of a Church and of a place in which this has been done for more than 800 years.

SPECIAL SERVICES & EVENTS

The Lake District is a great attraction to those who wish to mount a special exhibition or festival, and there is nowhere better than the environs of Cartmel Priory. We see the Priory as a resource to be shared with others and we will do our utmost to accommodate your requests and needs. The village has many excellent places for eating and for staying overnight or longer, with the larger hotels in Grange-over-sands only a couple of miles away. It is a 'magical place' to which, once experienced, you will return time and time again.

SPECIAL SERVICES AT CARTMEL PRIORY

As well as the services set out above, exhibitions of art and sculpture, and festivals of flowers and of quilting, are held from time to time, making use of the space and grace of the building.

Weddings

Most of our weddings are of couples from outside the parish who sense that the Priory is the place where they would like to make their solemn vows to one another. We will do our best to accommodate couples for this special day.

Festivals & Services for Organisations

We have hosted festivals for the Mothers' union, the Women's Institute, the Scout and Guide movement, and many others.

MONASTIC MORNINGS

We are glad to be able to offer, to parties of schoolchildren between the ages of 7 and 11, a morning of living history, sampling the monastic life of Augustinian canons in the 13th century.

The children are dressed in monks' habits as a prelude to taking part in many aspects of a novice monk's daily round. Senior 'monks' instruct the novices in music, art and drama. We encourage them to experience life in an enclosed order through imaginative role play in the unique setting of the ancient priory.

On completion of the visit each child will receive a commemorative certificate which acknowledges their achievements. The programme is designed to meet many requirements of the national curriculum.

To arrange a Monastic Morning please contact Fr Robert Bailey.


GUIDED TOURS OF CARTMEL PRIORY

This 12th Century priory has experienced an exciting history and visitors will be shown how this Christian church founded in 1188 has developed over the years. The daily routine of life in a monastery will be explained and stories told of the battles with Henry VIII. Tales of witches, together with those of a mermaid and a monkey will show how times have changed over the years and take the visitor on an enchanting journey leading to discoveries of their own.

Tours take place every Wednesday, from April to October, at 11.00am and 2.00pm.
Adults £2.50. Children £1.00.
Tours can be arranged for groups at other times throughout the year.
