Caffe Zero
Saturday August 8, 2026 11:00am - 12:30pm BST
Zero
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.

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.

Bring you burning questions around science and faith to this panel! Can you be a scientist and a Christian? Can a scientist believe in miracles? Did Jesus die for dinosaurs??
