We are delighted to announce the return of our Easter Triduum Retreat for 2026.
This year’s celebration of the Triduum liturgies will run from Thursday 2 – Sunday 5 April and takes inspiration from Jubilee 2025 with the beginning of the Rule of St Benedict: Are you yearning for life?
We'll be led by experienced speakers, including members of the Ampleforth monastic community, through a series of conference talks and supplementary sessions, come to worship together in the Abbey Church and to rejoice in song, in what makes up the largest event of the Abbey calendar.
Guests are accommodated across the boarding houses usually used by neighbouring Ampleforth College, as well as our retreat guest acccommodation, taking meals together as a community in the Refectory. There is also a dedicated programme of activities for children and teenagers.
Learn more on our Easter FAQs page.
Accessibility
Ampleforth’s beautiful campus is widespread and built on the side of a hill. The site features steps and inclines, and there is a fair distance to cover between church, dining room and retreat conferences and talks. While the main conference talks are held in a room accessed by steps, they are accessible via livestream to your personal device. Accessibility information is available for each accommodation building on the booking pages, but if you have any further questions prior to booking, please contact our team.
Costs and Booking
Easter Triduum guests are asked to pay a fee which will cover the costs of the event and to ensure the sustainability of this precious and sacred occasion.
Fees have been carefully structured to reflect accommodation options while prioritising affordability. We remain enormously grateful to those Easter guests and visitors who support the work of the Abbey throughout the year through donations.
