Big Church Festival Information

The Big Church Day Out is one of the UK's largest annual Christian events that draws together all ages, from all denominations, for two action-packed days of fun, fellowship, music & worship. It reaches out to both those inside and outside the church, and has fast become one of the UK's largest low-key evangelistic events. The Big Church Day Out loves unity and each year more than 20,000 people from all over the UK, and also increasingly from mainland Europe, gather together on the beautiful Wiston Estate in West Sussex. Our aim is to encourage and inspire people to press in for all that God has called them to do, both locally and further afield, and to provide a relaxed environment to introduce friends and family who have little or no experience of church. We are committed to giving those who attend the opportunity to respond to the gospel message each year. Tim Jupp, formerly of Delirious, heads up the Big Church Day Out team. Our partners include the Wiston Estate, other numerous organisations, and local churches and supporters from across the UK and beyond, who share a common desire to serve the church. Individuals, church leaders, whole churches and other Christian communities give their time and expertise to bring the Big Church Day Out alive. We are not a money-making event, and are blessed with donations from generous donors who have invested heavily in the vision of the Big Church Day Out. That vision sees us reaching out to as many people as we can, which is why our ticket prices are so heavily discounted. More and more people are offering to support the growth of this vision, and your help means we can keep going.
