16-21s Retreat

We have just returned from our first 16-21’s Retreat – ‘Barefoot and Bibles’

Here are the details from this year’s retreat in 2026, as no doubt next year’s retreat will have a similar vibe, and we’ll let you have more information closer to the time.
Book 17-19th Sept 2027 in your diaries!

Step away from the noise of everyday life and join us for a retreat designed for 16–21 year olds to come exactly as they are. This weekend is all about creating space to refresh your spirit, encounter God in a real and personal way, and build genuine connections with others. Whether your faith feels strong, uncertain, or somewhere in between, you are welcome here. Through worship, conversations, laughter, prayer, and time to simply slow down, we’ll explore what it means to come before God without pretending or performing. So kick off your shoes, bring your Bible, and come ready for a weekend of rest.

Arrive any time between 5pm – 7pm. We start at 7pm with a BBQ (weather permitting!)

Finishes at 2pm on Sunday (or 3pm if you’re up for helping us clean the venue!)
