We are delighted to host our second ‘British Saints’ gathering at St Seraphim’s with the theme of Sacred Landscapes.  Following the success of last year’s inaugural conference we have put together a new, exciting, and varied programme with a wonderful line-up of speakers and contributions including the Rt Revd Dr Rowan Williams (former Archbishop of Canterbury), Dr Martin Shaw, Paul Kingsnorth, and Professor Marcus Plested.  Provisional Programme for British Saints Conference 2026.

The registration fee is a flat fee for the whole three-day conference (we do not offer partial registration).  This event is organized as part of our 2026 fund-raising campaign for urgent repairs and upgrades to the buildings of the old railway station.  Thank you so much for supporting us as we embark on a new chapter in the life of St Seraphim’s Trust.  More details below in the description.

Description

On the evening of Friday 15th May, and all day Saturday 16th May, and Sunday 17th May, a series of talks, poetry readings, story-telling, and live musical performances will explore ways in which Christians today can connect with the saints of these islands focusing on the theme of sacred landscape. The conference is hosted by St Seraphim’s Chapel, which is situated in Walsingham’s former Victorian railway station. The Chapel was  founded by Fr David in 1967 as a centre of Orthodox Christian iconography and worship.

St Seraphim's Chapel

St Seraphim's Pilgrim Chapel is a unique heritage site in the North Norfolk pilgrimage village of Walsingham, incorporating a traditional Orthodox Chapel in the Byzantium style, Quiet Garden, Icon Gallery and railway heritage display. The Chapel was founded in 1967 for the local Orthodox community, converted from the former railway station, which opened in 1857 and closed in 1964.
St Seraphim’s has witnessed 44 years of traditional Orthodox icon painting by the iconographers Father David (Mark) Meyrick and Leon Liddament. St Seraphim's has a truly distinctive collection of icons on display in the chapel and icon gallery, including many painted by Father David and Leon. They placed particular emphasis on the early British Saints in their work, such as St. Columba and St. Alban.
The Quiet Garden is a natural haven which complements the spirituality of the Chapel and provides a calming and reflective space for use by pilgrims, visitors and the local community.
