We will be joining thousands of others from our church network for a long weekend of amazing teaching, incredible times of worship, food stalls, festival vibes, friendship building, bonfires and so much more.

What is Focus?

Focus is a long weekend where we go away together as a church family, come together with churches from all across the UK for a big, vibrant, fun summer festival. The days are made up of brilliant teaching from world renowned speakers as well as times of worship and vision casting. In the afternoons there will be moments for you to just hang out, go to seminars, have coffee with friends, whatever works for you! There are amazing groups for kids and youth to go to throughout the week too. Focus is for everyone and we can’t wait to see you there.

Focus is taking place 25-28th July 2023. The full programme starts on the Thursday evening and finishes on the evening of Sunday 28th July. We will be staying as a church until the Monday morning.

Community Pitch

Community is at the heart of Focus and we’ll be hosting a community pitch throughout the week! We’ll have breakfast and dinner together as well as plenty of opportunities to hangout over hot drinks and fire pits throughout the evenings. Book your place below!

  • Our community marquee will have full access to power (within reason!) so there will be plenty of chance to charge your devices!
    If you need more power for your own tent, then powered camping plots are available through Focus.

  • There will be the option of eating together with our Catered Camping!
    We will be launching our Catered Camping option in the coming weeks, so keep an eye out for more information!

    There are also a range of food and drink venders around the Festival site.

  • We won’t be able to organise lifts or equipment loans centrally this year, however we will try to help facilitate these conversations.
    If you need anything, drop it in your Camp Hope booking notes and we’ll be in touch!

  • We don’t want anyone to feel like finances are getting in the way of coming to Focus.
    If there is a way we can support you in this, please get in touch to discuss the options available!
