About Us

Lighthouse Thame is a holiday week for children and young people in Thame and the surrounding area that takes place in the summer holidays at Lord Williams Upper School.

It is run through a partnership of local churches and supported by hundreds of experienced volunteers who help to make the event safe, fun and enjoyable for all.

Our objective is to create a safe, fun environment, where children and young people participate in sports, craft and music. The daily gunging of a leader is always great fun and the daily activities close with some great songs with plenty of actions.

We want everybody to feel welcome and promote the following values:

• Acceptance
• Unbounded patience
• Fair discipline
• Lots of love
• And, of course, lots of Fun

Lighthouse Thame provides an opportunity for children and young people through songs, fun activities and talks to learn more about God and understand what difference Jesus can make to all our lives.

Lighthouse History

Lighthouse was started in Great Missenden, Buckinghamshire in 1987 when a group of Christians from local Churches decided to arrange some fun activities for children and young people during the school summer holidays. The event was a resounding success and well over 350 children attended this initial event.

Lighthouse has since gone from strength to strength with thousands of children attending events across the county. Lighthouse Thame was first launched in 2008 in the Thame showground.

Lighthouse Thame operates as Lighthouse88 which is a registered charity no. 1071892
