| Where: | Mudeford, Dorset at the Quay |
| When: | Rogation Sunday |
| Time: | 3.15pm |
Mudeford in Dorset is a salmon fishing village and each year on Rogation Sunday the local vicar takes to the water in a rowing boat, to bless the sea in a short religious ceremony during which a cross is cast into the depths. Expect hymn singing, usually accompanied by a brass band.
Helpful Hints
Rogation Sunday is the Sunday before Ascension Day, which is always on a Thursday and is the 40th day after Easter. Because of the link to Easter, the date for Rogation Sunday changes from year to year.
In 2025 Rogation Sunday will be on 25th May.
The local RNLI site recommends that a good place to watch is from the beach at the end of the spit.
