Information on the day
Pax Christi Peace Pilgrimage to the ExCel Arms Fair Site
Tuesday, 14th September: 10.30 meeting for 11am start
Meet at 10.30am at St Anne’s RC Church, 1 Berwick Road, Custom House, London EC16 3DR to walk to ExCel Centre for DSEI Day of Action.
Nearest Station: Prince Regent DLR
All welcome to join us.
If you are not able to join us in person, you can still join us in our pilgrimage by meditating and praying with the Stations of the Cross that we will be using on our way.
There is a very good Community Café near to ExCel, in Cundy Road, but it can get very busy. You may want to bring your own refreshments.
It would be helpful if you could let us know that you are hoping to come, by emailing info@paxchristi.org.uk
This will enable us to let you know if there are any changes due to Police Security arrangements.
A map of the site is available here and accessibility information for the site is available here.
If you are using the above map, for the church in Berwick Street, keep walking up Prince Regent Lane and it’s on the left.
