What is the Big Weekend?

It's a wonderful chance for the entire church, across all sites, to gather together for a weekend away in the Welsh countryside. We’ll encounter God together through times of worship, teaching and ministry. There will also be time for fun and social activities, spaces for prayer and reflection, and time for relaxing.

Where are we going?

We'll be staying at Cefn Lea, a wonderful Christian Conference & Holiday Park in Powys, Wales. All meals are included in your ticket price. 

Who's invited?

Everyone! If you're connected to Birmingham Vineyard, we would love for you to come along. It's going to be brilliant! We would love everyone who can to be there as a church family.

Create Fun & Connection

  • We'd like to offer people the opportunity to 'pay it forward' if they can, so that others who need support can have some help to attend. We therefore have three adult ticket types, two family tickets and some individual tickets for under-18s.

    Adult, standard: £131
    This is what the weekend will cost to run.

    Adult, generous: £171
    Your generosity will help to support others and perhaps add some extras to the weekend - thank you!

    Adult, supported: £106
    You can select this option if, for any reason (e.g. benefits, education, work, health) you feel that you can't afford to pay the full cost.

    Family Standard: £355
    Two adults and Two children aged 4 to 18

    Family, Supported: £300
    Two adults and Two children aged 4 to 18

    Camping
    This year, we have opened up the opportunity for you to choose to camp onsite. Camping tickets are 30% cheaper. If you choose to camp, you must bring your own tent or caravan. There are pitches available both with and without electrical hookups. To book a camping ticket is really simple- select your tickets as normal, when you come to check out at the end, insert the code: CAMPING. This will automatically apply a 30% discount to all the tickets in your basket, and let us know that you are all choosing to camp. (If anyone from your family is not planning on camping, please book their tickets separately from camping tickets.)
    We only have space for a maximum of 50 people to camp, so once these slots have filled up, we will close the camping code until we have filled up the rest of the site.
