Canterbury Cathedral

The Ecumenical Group in Lille is planning a trip to Canterbury Cathedral on Saturday 19 October. They have suggested an alternative means of transport, sharing private cars which would be a bit cheaper than a coach, still including the entrance fee to Canterbury Cathedral (but not lunch). A valid passport and visa (where necessary) is required. If this is of interest, please contact chaplain@christchurchlille.fr
