15-18 AUGUST | WARWICKSHIRE | CAMPING

An intimate retreat for students, 20s and 30s who want to know more of Jesus and see Him made known.

4 days, 3 nights
Together for more of Jesus

The Way of Jesus is like no other. The way to true life isn’t through our striving to do more, work harder and be better, but by grace alone, through faith alone.

Filled with the Spirit, we are freed from our slavery to sin and self, and empowered to live a better, more beautiful, more glorious way: the life we were always made for. Over five sessions we’ll journey together through the book of Romans, which provides us with a roadmap for Living the Way of Jesus. As we’ll see, Paul paints for us a glorious picture of what it means to live in light of the reality of Jesus: how we have been justified by His grace, filled with His Spirit, changed by His power, united with His people, and sent for His mission. This way is the only way to true life: the only way worth living for.

Gather with us, see Jesus, go and share Him with the world

Every summer, we gather as a community because we believe that life is found in Jesus. We gather to look up from the things of the world and see Jesus as our only way, our only truth, our only life. We gather to be reminded of all we have in Him; to be renewed in the truth of His Word; and released to go and help more people meet Him for themselves.

FAQs

  • The site address is: Red Hill, Heath End, Snitterfield, Stratford-upon-Avon, CV37 0PQ. The entrance is just off the A46—look out for the Something More flags! If you use the what3words app, search for embellish.plugged.easygoing, which will lead you to the site entrance. If you’re travelling by train, the best stations are Warwick Parkway or Stratford-upon-Avon Parkway.

  • The Weekend is built around six sessions of worship, prayer, and teaching from God’s Word: exploring this year’s theme, and helping us to see more of Jesus, together. As well as the main sessions there are special seminars, opportunities for prayer, space and time for rest, sports, food, walks and evenings together around the campfire. There’s even a morning run for our very bravest Weekenders! You'll also get to enjoy the peace and beauty of the countryside estate, hang out and meet new people, and take time to be with, and rest in, Jesus.

  • The Weekend has been specially designed as an intimate retreat for people from our community who love Jesus and long to see more people find life in Him. We've purposefully limited tickets to 150 to help encourage connection, rest and togetherness as we gather to grow in Jesus and get equipped to go and tell the world about Him. There'll be Christians from churches across the country, and we'll be joined by our main speaker Andy Prime from Gracemount Community Church in Edinburgh, along with special seminar guest hosts from churches, charities and ministries across the UK.

  • Check-in is from 5pm on the Friday, food is from 6pm, and our first session will begin at 8pm. Please try and arrive within this window if you can: it really helps our caterers, and it means we can kick off our programme on time! We’ll close at 12pm on the Monday after our final session.

  • Yes! All meals from Friday evening to Monday morning are included with your ticket, but make sure you bring snacks as there isn’t a shop nearby!

  • A Bible and notebook

    Tent, torch and camping kit

    Camping chair or picnic blanket (only if you aren’t happy on a hay bale!)

    Towel • Toiletries

    Cutlery • Bowl • Plate • Mug

    Snacks

    …and don’t forget: we have no idea what the weather will do, so please do bring warm, waterproof clothes. All of your main meals are included with your ticket, but it’s a good idea to bring snacks to keep you going between mealtimes. Coffee and tea will be available throughout the weekend, so please bring a keep cup to help us reduce our impact on the environment. We’ll be spending plenty of time outside sitting and eating together (hopefully in the sunshine!), so bring a blanket or camping chair to keep comfy. And finally, if you’re a baker, feel free to bake something and share the love!

  • Access to hot showers, toilets, washing up stations, water points and refrigeration facilities means you’ll have everything you need to camp happy! There are a few electric hook ups in the camping field for those bringing campervans—but for charging phones and other devices, we recommend bringing a portable battery pack with you.

  • As we work to establish the event over the coming years, our hope is to open it up to families and young people, but to help us with insuring the event and ensuring that we’re able to accommodate everyone well, this year the Weekend will be for adults only (18+).

  • We ask that you respect the commitment you agreed to on your booking form: to engage fully in the spirit of the Weekend and behave in a way that is respectful and honouring to everyone else involved. We will operate quiet hours between 23:30 and 6:30. We also ask that guests stay in single-sex tent compartments (excluding married couples).

  • There are a few electric hook ups in the camping field for those bringing campervans—but for charging phones and other devices, we recommend bringing a portable battery pack with you.

  • There will be qualified First Aiders on site who will provide immediate medical attention in case of an emergency. In the unlikely event that further medical attention is needed, the nearest hospital (Warwick Hospital) is just 5 miles away. Please do make us aware of any health conditions or medications ahead of the Weekend.

  • We want our time together to be as welcoming, safe and accessible as possible for all of our guests — including those who may have a difficult relationship with alcohol — so we have decided to make the Weekend an alcohol-free event.

  • Of course! Plenty of Weekenders come on their own, and there will be loads of opportunities to meet new people and chat, play sports, eat, worship and pray together over the Weekend, and, if you know and follow Jesus, we’re already family in Him!

  • You’ll be welcomed at the front gate by our stewards, and then directed down the lane to the parking and Info Point in the main field. We’ll get you checked in, give you your wristband and Weekend Programme, and show you where to set up camp.

  • Pray! Pray with us that God would use our time together for our good and His glory: that He would meet with us, that we would see Jesus more clearly, and that we would be filled with His Spirit to go out and make Him known.
