We are delighted to announce the return of our Easter Triduum Retreat for 2025.
This year’s celebration of the Triduum liturgies will run from Thursday 17th – Sunday 20th April and takes inspiration from Jubilee 2025 with the theme of Christ: Transmitter of Hope.
We will come together to open our eyes to how we can follow Christ and become a Pilgrim of Hope to others in a world which can sometimes seem senseless.
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.

Changes to costs and booking
This year, Easter Triduum guests are asked to pay a fee which will cover the costs of the event. In previous years, donations unfortunately fell short of meeting expenses, so this change has been introduced to ensure the sustainability of this precious and sacred occasion.
Fees have been carefully structured to reflect accommodation options while prioritising affordability. We’ll be providing some subsidised places for young people who otherwise would be unable to join us. We remain enormously grateful to those Easter guests and visitors who support the work of the Abbey throughout the year through donations.
New booking process
In order to improve the booking experience for our retreatants, we also have launched a new booking system for 2025. Using the link below, guests are now able to secure and pay for their retreat booking online, providing all relevant information for us to accommodate your party at the time of booking.
We are also offering a small number of non-resident places for the duration of the retreat, as well as the opportunity to book your coach transport from York Station - both are also available to book at the booking site below.
