Pack your passport for Lindisfarne Priory

If you're heading to Lindisfarne Priory this summer, don't forget to pack your passport!

You may not be leaving the country, but the Lindisfarne Passport will allow you to make the most of your time on Holy Island. The joint partnership scheme between Lindisfarne Priory, Lindisfarne Castle and Lindisfarne Heritage Centre encourages visitors to spend a whole day on the island and explore the many attractions, walk and local businesses.

Visit each attraction to get your passport officially stamped and, if you stay on the island during the closed tide, you'll receive a special 'Holy Island Castaway' stamp.

As well as entertaining the youngsters, enhancing their knowledge of the island’s rich history and giving them a sense of achievement, those who obtain all four stamps on their passport are also entitled to enter a draw featuring lots of great prizes from the island.

The Lindisfarne Passport scheme is valid until the end of November 2008 and stamps that can be collected from English Heritage’s Lindisfarne Priory, the National Trust’s Lindisfarne Castle and Lindisfarne Heritage Centre. All visitors to Lindisfarne are urged to check the safe crossing times to Lindisfarne Island before embarking on their journey.
