The site of St Benet’s Abbey has been a place of prayer, pilgrimage, and spiritual encounter for over a thousand years. The Benedictine monastery founded in the eleventh century was never formally dissolved at the Reformation, and the Bishop of Norwich remains its titular Abbot. Each year since 1939, an outdoor service has been held on the site, to give thanks to God. The Bishop will arrive by Wherry, the service will be conducted in the ruins of the Abbey and we hope to have a good attendance from locals, holiday makers on the Broads and from further afield. It will be an open-air ecumenical service and we look forward to welcoming and worshipping with as many as wish to attend at this ancient site.
