Dietary Requirements

We recognise that some pilgrims may have special dietary needs. While we do our best to provide a range of meal options, including vegetarian and gluten-free where possible, we are unable to accommodate every specific allergy or dietary requirement.

If you have a serious allergy or medical dietary need, please contact us in advance to discuss whether the provided meals will be suitable or whether you will need to make your own arrangements. In some cases, pilgrims may wish to bring supplementary snacks or meals that meet their individual requirements.

Please note that:

  • Food is prepared in shared facilities and we cannot guarantee the absence of allergens such as nuts, dairy, gluten or egg.
  • Pilgrims with complex needs may wish to bring their own sealed, labelled containers which can be stored and served as required.

We thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we work to ensure a nourishing and safe experience for all pilgrims.
