11:00am BST

Caffe Zero
Friday August 7, 2026 11:00am - 12:30pm BST
If the main meetings feel a bit much and you need a space with no worship or Christian jargon - Zero might be the place for you. These morning sessions will be interactive and will meet you where you're at - with any questions and doubts you might bring with you. Tom and Jess will host this venue all week so you'll get to know them really well. Each morning session will be roughly an hour (at the same time as the Main Meeting) and will often hear from the main stage speaker from the night before. 

Don't forget, there's also some afternoon sessions in Zero too.

Can I trust the Bible?
