You'll find us in the little rooms at the back left of the main arena (as you're facing the stage). They have glass windows/walls so you'll be able to see what's going on in the arena.

This is a small (hosted) breakout space where you can come and have some quiet if the arena feels too overstimulating. All young people must be dropped off by a youth leader and it’s fine to use it as a drop in and out space or stay for the whole time. We also have some ear defenders which can be borrowed if you’ve left yours at the tent. There'll be sensory lighting, fidget toys and some beanbags.

Please note:
- this is a space for young people, unfortunately we’re not able to accommodate youth leaders due to space.
- this is a sensory space for young people who might need support. If you want a space to chill, stretch out, be around less people or slightly less noise - please use Relay.

[This session is for leaders]
Brave faith isn’t always easy, especially for a generation that can be courageous one minute and anxious the next. As youth leaders, we get the joy of fanning into flame the God‑given gifts in our young people and cheering them on as they learn to be bold right where they are… even when it feels totally impossible. With inspiring stories from believers in the persecuted church, in this seminar the Open Doors team will dig into the HOW of helping young people take risks, step out in confidence, and choose brave, impossible faith in their everyday lives.

Would Jesus own an Xbox, Playstation or Switch? Should Christians even be playing video games? Can Among Us be used for Evangelism?

Gaming has become an ever increasing part of how we choose to relax, socialise and spend our free time. Where even the simplest games have the ability to draw us into enticing worlds, engaging narratives, feel good successes and frustrating failures. How do we navigate these experiences alongside our offline world and what place, if any, should our faith play in the types of games we play and the choices and roles we take on in them.
