EASTER WEEK EVENTS
Good Friday Stations of the Cross
Friday April 3rd from 9 am to 4 pm
In a world troubled by conflict and uncertainty, there is wisdom and strength to be found in sacred spaces. Step away from the noise of the world into a quiet journey of reflection and prayer this Good Friday.
Travel on foot along a guided path, stopping to reflect at prayer stations on the way. Consider global events, the tragedy of injustice and the hope of redemption as you walk the final journey to the cross with Jesus.
Walk at your own pace. People of all ages are welcome although the ground is uneven and may not be suitable for strollers or other assistive devices. Dress for the weather and wear sturdy shoes. You are welcome to stay as long as you like to walk the forest trails or visit with the animals. Restrooms are available at the schoolhouse and you will find outdoor restrooms near the barn.
Please register at the office when you arrive. This event is by donation only and no pre-registration is required.
Good Friday Fish Dinner
Friday April 3rd 5:30 pm to 7 pm
Why have ordinary fish and chips when you can come to Crieff Hills and enjoy Chef Matthew's fish cakes and special sauce made with local ingredients?
