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.

There'll also be writing, drawing, journaling, colouring supplies for you to use whilst you engage with the session.

Good Grief - the things no one tells you about loss

Saturday August 8, 2026 2:00pm - 2:45pm BST

Canopy

Loss is part of every human story, but we rarely talk about it. Whether it's the death of a loved one, the end of a friendship, family breakdown, disappointment, change, or simply life not turning out as expected, loss can leave us feeling confused, isolated and unsure of what comes next. In this honest and practical session, Dez Johnston explores what grief really looks like, how we learn to live through difficult seasons, and where hope can be found when life changes unexpectedly. Together we'll look at how to navigate loss ourselves and how to become the kind of friend who knows how to walk alongside others when they are hurting.

God invites us to look up, explore the world around us, and wonder at how creation works. In this lively session, we will discover how creativity and science can work together as gifts from God. We will think about how our imagination, curiosity, and practical skills can help us create with God and serve his purposes. Along the way, we will put those ideas into action by making origami catapults and testing out creative, scientific minds together for God's glory.

To vote or not to vote?

Saturday August 8, 2026 4:00pm - 4:20pm BST

Conveyor @Scaffé

In 2025 the Labour Government pledged to give 16 & 17 year olds in the UK the right to vote in the next general election, while in Scotland and Wales young people 16 or over can already vote in local elections. But does voting really make any difference in our political system? If you do decide to vote how do you choose who to vote for? What’s the difference between the general and local elections, is one more important than the other? Why do we get the politicians we do? Is it all really as divided as it seems? Join us for a whistle-stop tour of how taking an interest in politics can lead to positive change and why your voices as a younger generation are important for the future of our democracy.
