IONA PILGRIMAGE 2027
30th MARCH - 3rd APRIL 2027
For this pilgrimage we have changed the pattern of booking so that everyone can
have a single room. This means that there are fewer places and there is a increase in cost.
The history of the island and the limited accommodation means that staying on the island
is always expensive. We are accommodated at Bishops House on a Full Board basis
and that includes luggage transport to and from the ferry.
For comparison, a camping pod for that time of the year we are there would be around £100
per night with no food and no luggage transfer. A B&B room would be double and the hotels
considerably more, so although Bishops House may seem expensive for Iona it is actually reasonable.
Costs for 2027 are £550 full board for single occupancy. Sharing one of the double rooms would
be £750 for two people full board.
Travel costs by car and ferry are usually £40 - £50.
Please fill in the Booking Form at the back of the church and indicate whether you would be willing to be a driver.
A deposit of £100 secures a place and the remainder needs to be paid by the end of January 2027.
