FOCUS 2024
25-28 July 2024
Something extraordinary happens when we get together
Join us at Focus - a chance to connect with God, connect with each other and connect with the HTB network across the country. There will be teaching, worship, kids and youth activities, ministry, stories, fire-pits, sports, something for everyone. We’ll have a great time spending time together, making new friends and reconnecting with old ones.
Focus runs from Thursday July 25th - Sunday July 28th. You are welcome to camp until the morning of Monday 29th to make the most of the Sunday evening session.
How do I book?
If you’re new to Focus, just head to the main Focus website to book your tickets. There is a discounted rate for adult newbie tickets.
There is also a payment plan scheme which allows you to spread the cost of the tickets, paying in three installments before May 31st.
Where is Focus?
Newark Showground is located North-East of Nottingham. The nearest train stations are Newark North Gate and Newark Castle.
Address: Newark Showground, Lincoln Rd, Coddington, Newark NG24 2NY
But what if I've never camped before?
Pattern Church will all be camping together, and we will all help each other put up our tents so no experience needed! We have a community marquee for us to hang out in, we’ll BBQ together one evening and provide bread, milk, tea & coffee for breakfast to make self catering as easy as possible. If camping’s not possible for you, why not explore other accomodation locally and sleep in luxury?!
What about youth and kids?
There’s a great programme of worship & teaching for children and youth planned throughout the week. If you have questions at this stage you can get in touch with Lizzy for kids questions and Em for youth.
How can I make Focus cheaper?
We don’t want finances to stop anyone coming to Focus. Joining a focus team is one way to come on a partially or fully funded ticket, depending on the team role. Team applications are now open and Pattern Church are forming part of the core team for the 3-4s kids venue so that’s a great team to chat to Lizzy about!
Pattern Church also have a bursary scheme which we hope will allow as many people as possible to attend, whatever your budget. Please fill in the form below, detailing your needs and situation, to apply for a bursary.
