grasp a real and tangible Jesus. The Kids Marquee is

the adult morning, afternoon and evening sessions. At

The Shocking Event is run for 12 –

to see a generation in love with Jesus spend time with
our teens to deepen their faith. It is a full programme
hosted on a separate park site. Under 18’s who
