We are deeply saddened by the incident at this year's event. We send our condolences and prayers to all those involved and affected. Our prayers especially for the families involved and to our partners in the Big Church Festival team.

We are devastated by the serious incident that took place at Big Church Festival 2026 today, in which a sign fell, injuring at least seven people, one of whom tragically lost their life.

First and foremost, all of our thoughts are with those who have been affected, their families and friends, and everyone who witnessed what happened.

Following today’s incident, we have made the decision to bring Big Church Festival 2026 to a close.

At New Wine — and the conversations have been brilliant! 🙌
Meeting church and youth leaders along with families who are passionate about helping young people grow in faith, confidence and community.

We have heard powerful stories of the difference a residential trip makes to discipleship and creating life long memories and with stays from as little as £99 many are signing up

We’re also talking about our gap year opportunities, where people can deepen their faith, serve others, develop leadership skills.
That love of the outdoors often starts at a young age…

If you’re at New Wine, come and say hello — we’d love to chat about how adventure helps shape faith

Faith. Adventure. Transformation.

Help shape the future of Christian residential ministry!

Rock UK are delighted to support a new national research project exploring the impact of Christian residential experiences across the UK, and we'd be pleased to invite you to complete the survey.

Have you ever been on a Christian or church camp, a church family retreat, a youth group weekend away as a participant or volunteer or perhaps work with or volunteer with schools or youth groups?
Maybe you would like to but don't know how...

Christian Residential Network are undertaking an extensive research to understand the impact to these residential trips and the barriers that stop groups or individuals attending.

If you could spare 5-10 minutes to complete the research that would be amazing and if not, please share it with others in your church, organisation or network so that it is the best research possible to support young people in the UK share in amazing residential experiences.

Complete the survey here:

Or click the link to find out more:

Together we can show the impact and difference Christian residentials make so thank you for taking part in this important research that will strengthen the work of Christian residential ministry across the UK.

SCHOOLS - listen up 📯🎺🥁🎤

- an autumn or spring school residential with plenty of Outdoor Adventure at Frontier Centre can be more cost effective, yet it is equally beneficial as a summer one — it’s a chance for students to learn & grow together!

From canoeing to abseiling, every challenge builds confidence, teamwork, and resilience. Give your pupils an unforgettable adventure that fuels learning and personal growth. Get in touch to talk about how we can help you with your next residential booking in 2026 or 2027!
