Lighthouse Kids

Get your children involved in a fantastic week of fun, laughter, dance, song, messy games and of course the daily gunging of a leader!

Booking will be open from April!

Although we are expecting hundreds of children, they are divided into small groups called Lighthouses, which are led by a dedicated team.

Each Lighthouse has an adult 'Lighthouse Keeper' and some teenage 'Lamplighters' who help to look after your children throughout the week.

Every day the children start off in the Big Top with some great music, singing and games followed by sports, craft, creative activities, as well as age-appropriate Bible teaching.

Twice a day everyone joins together in the Big Top for some noisy fun and games - and the ever-popular gunge tank, where they vote for their favourite leader to be gunged. (Parents are welcome to come and watch the last session of the day, starting at 2.50pm.)

Age groups for children

• 10+ (Current school year 5 and 6)
