The Way of the Setts Anne Lister Pilgrimage Walk is focussed around central aspects of the life of Anne Lister. It begins in the holy site of what she knew as the Parish Church now of course Halifax Minster; this is where she was baptised, where she worshipped, and is where she is buried. The walk then travels up Old Bank and onto the high vistas overlooking some of the Halifax landmarks that Anne would have seen as she strode between Shibden Hall and the town.

This part of the walk will end at Shibden Hall, where a second walk (see a following entry in the programme) will continue on around Shibden Park. You are welcome to do either walk, or both however, please make sure to book the relevant tickets, due to limited available numbers.

This pilgrimage will be led by the Revd. Dr. Catherine Shelley and please note that it is extremely steep in places as well as being slippery underfoot (particularly so, depending on the weather conditions). Please therefore ensure that you wear entirely appropriate footwear.
Regrettably, due to the terrain (Setts being the original, cobbled path laid hundreds of years ago, and which still forms part of the ancient Magna Via route today) this route is not wheelchair accessible.

NB: Any children under 18 booked on the tour must be accompanied by an adult with a ticket for the event and will remain the responsibility of that parent or guardian at all times.
