Focus 2026

Thursday 23rd July – Sunday 26th July
📍 Newark Showground

WHAT IS FOCUS? 🎪

Focus is our annual church holiday! A chance to step away from the busyness of everyday life and intentionally gather as a church family, making space for God to meet us in fresh ways.

It’s more than an event or a festival. Focus is more like a pilgrimage: family coming together on mission. It’s a marker in the year that shapes us, with an impact that lasts far beyond the summer.

We worship together. We grow together.
And most importantly… we have a lot of fun together.

We are one church, with five services across two locations, and Focus gives us a rare opportunity to come together as one family, to spend time with people we may not usually see on a Sunday, and to grow deeper together.

CHILDREN & YOUTH GO FREE! 🎉

We’re excited to share that for the first time ever, St John’s and St Mark’s will be covering the Focus ticket cost for all children and youth up to age 17.

That means:

- Families only need to pay for adult tickets, food and camping pitch, if you choose to camp.

- Children and youth tickets are completely free with the Church promo code.

Serve on a team. Serving comes with:

  • A free Focus ticket

  • Subsidised food

  • A brilliant way to connect with the wider Church Network.

Camping together is a huge part of the Focus experience and helps us build community throughout the week.

Camping Together ⛺️

If you’re planning to camp, please make sure you select the correct church option when booking so we can all be together:

“St Johns Hampton Wick with St Marks Teddington”

Camping together is a huge part of the Focus experience and helps us build community throughout the week.
