Á½ÐÔÉ«ÎçÒ¹ 2026

Thursday 27 – Sunday 30 August 2026, Boughton House, near Kettering

What is Á½ÐÔÉ«ÎçÒ¹?

is a Christian festival set within the grounds of Boughton House near Kettering in Northamptonshire. It’s a superb place to explore, grow and celebrate belief, artistry and activism, It’s a place of beautiful encounter, full of music, talks, worship, workshops, drama and arts, activities for all ages, green spaces and stillness. It’s a rare moment to come together as Christians from near and far to dream up a better world, to dance and debate, to pray and to party!

Please send us your craft!

Even if you can’t come to the festival in person, you can still have an impact. Each year, we invite all Á½ÐÔÉ«ÎçÒ¹ folk to send in a simple craft item that helps inspire the festivalgoers who enter our tent.

This year, our focus is on ‘songs that keep you going’ – even when times are tough. You can download instructions here and the note template here. You’ve got until 1 August to send us your creativity. You might wish to involve a group or club you’re part of, and send in all your craft in one envelope.

Thank you.
