Focus is our annual church holiday, where we gather with thousands of other people from across the country for an extraordinary weekend of camping, worship, teaching, community and fun! Focus takes place at Newark Showground, near Nottingham. Join us and come along with the Christ Church Peckham Family! If you’d like to know more about what happens at Focus and what to bring, we’re hosting an info session on 12th July.
We’ve also made catering easy by arranging a package that includes breakfast and lunch each day. After booking your ticket, simply sign up below.
