Try Pilgrimage and its resources are designed for individuals who may not have experienced pilgrimage before and are looking for a gentle introduction. There are two main pathways available on the site: one for churches and Christians interested in hosting a pilgrimage, and another for those who want to try a pilgrimage for themselves. All resources are available for free download.

“Most of the time we take a journey to get somewhere, to reach a destination. Journeys are often frantic, fast-paced and fuelled by a desire to get somewhere… quickly. Life is full of journeys where the destination is the point so I’m excited that the invitation of Try Pilgrimage is to make the journey the point; to take a journey that invites us to come to a greater understanding of ourselves, our connection with people, places and with God.”
-Sammy Jordan from Hope Together

Try Pilgrimage encourages Christians and non-Christians to embark on a unique journey to discover people, make new experiences and engage with their community. The website shares existing pilgrimage routes but also enables members of the public to step out of their comfort zone, create their own pilgrimages and share them on the website.

Interest in spiritual walking is at an all-time high, largely due to the BBC series "Pilgrimage" which encouraged many individuals to explore famous routes like the Camino, also known as the Way of St James going to Santiago de Compostella. However, Great Britain also offers numerous local pilgrimages that allow for a deeper engagement with the community.
