Why is there a cost to the conference?
Children and youth tickets are completely free but there is a small charge for adult tickets in order to help cover costs. If your situation means that you aren’t able to purchase a ticket, we’d love to help. Please get in touch at [email protected].
Can I come to part of the conference?
The content of the conference builds sequentially so the best way to understand and experience it will be through attending all of the sessions. However, we know that might not be possible so you can select a ticket for any one of the main sessions too. For more details and to book visit here.
What will the kids programme be like?
The kids programme is on Saturday 10 October, 13:00 – 15:30. Our Trent Kids team will run an interactive session for children age 0-11 focusing on the Holy Spirit. Please come to the Trent Kids centre at 13:00 to sign your children in. For more details and to book visit here.

There is a special Trent Youth session on Saturday 10 October, 10:30 – 12:00 with guest speakers Tom and Lesley Thompson. For more details and to book visit here. 11-18s are welcome to come to the rest of the conference but under 16s need to be accompanied by their parents at all times.
Are children welcome?
Yes! There are separate Trent Kids and Trent Youth programmes (as above). Children may also attend the main conference, although the content will be aimed at grown-ups and parents will be responsible for looking after their children.
