SOMETHING EXTRAORDINARY HAPPENS WHEN WE GET TOGETHER

Focus is a chance for our church network to gather together as one family with teaching, worship and lots of fun activities for all ages.

Not sure what to expect? We're here to help answer your questions!

Where will I sleep?

We will be camping together as a church, with our own City Rise community space to hang out, eat together, and electricity to charge your phone! You can bring your own tent or caravan, or hire a tent through Focus (remember to include FREE camping when booking your focus ticket)

Will we be eating together?

YES! We have worked hard this year to be able to provide our own “Half Board” catering package, providing buffet breakfast and evening meals, as well as drinks and snacks.

We will be able to cater for dietary requirements, and there will be community fridges available for personal use. 

Eco-friendly disposables will be limited, so please bring your reusable plates and keep-cups. 

There are still food trucks, bars and a cafe onsite but these aren’t included in the cost of the City Rise catering ticket.

How much does it cost?

If you’re new to Focus, you can book a newbie ticket at a reduced rate of £200. Prices may increase before the event - so book in now!

But we don't want anyone to feel like the cost of the weekend is a barrier to coming. If a bursary would help you, please email focus@smbr.church and one of the team will be in touch with more information.
