Penybont MA is going on Holiday!

Each year churches from across the UK gather together to worship God together at Focus.

Mark, Jess and the family have been going to Focus for the last few years and love it - and so have saved space on site for the Penybont MA. Do get in touch with Mark or Jess if you have any questions - they’d be happy to talk to you.

If you’re ready to book, click the link above and make sure to book under the Penybont Ministry Area.

We do hope you’ll join us!

The below is taken from the Focus website to answer some of the key questions you might have - but there is more on their website: Focus.htb.org

What is Focus?

Focus is summer! It’s family, friendship, fun, community, encounter, and of course Jesus - all in one place. What more could you ask for?

Every morning and every evening, we gather to worship as one family. We hear from our Big Top Speakers, make space for ministry and prayer, and delve deeper into what God has for us this year.

During the day, we run a range of labs. Labs are seminars covering a range of topics. Whether that’s on exploring ordination, mental health and the church, or love lessons – there’s something for everyone.

Looking to keep active at Focus? Whether it’s an early morning run, pilates in the paddock, or touch rugby on the Active Field, there’s something for you at Focus. We have teamed up with Bridge The Gap again this year, and they’ll be bringing a full programme of football for all.

Looking to learn a new skill or let off some steam? There’s not a moment for boredom at Focus. Pick from a funfair, a climbing wall or a coffee workshop. Keep an eye on the app for creative opportunities as well – you’ll be spoilt for choice.

What are the dates?

The Focus 2025 dates are Thursday 24 July until Sunday 27 July 2025. The full programme and main sessions will start on the evening of Thursday 24 July and finish late on the evening of Sunday 27 July 2025.

Guests need to leave the site by 10am on Monday 28 July 2025.

Where to stay

There is so much space at Focus for us to camp together and to bring our caravans and motorhomes - there is a specific spot set aside for Penybont Ministry Area!

However if camping’s not your thing, there is also ample offsite accommodation in the surrounding area.

We appreciate that each of us have different budgets and one type of accommodation doesn’t fit all so there are a variety of accommodation options, from basic camping to electric pitches and live-in vehicles, to enable everyone to find something to suit them at Focus. If none of these work for you, there’s also the option of finding local accommodation offsite.

Head over to the accommodation pages of the Focus website for more information.

Is Focus suitable for kids and teens?

Focus Kids is for children between the ages of 1 - 10. With family worship, Bible stories and an action-packed programme full of games, crafts and more, it's the best way to kickstart the summer holidays.

Focus Youth is an emerging movement of young people (school years 7 - 13) from around the UK. We gather to worship God, encounter Him and have a lot of fun.

Is there anything specific for 18-29 year olds?

Focus Collective is a venue designed specifically with 18-29s in mind to help you get the most out of your time at Focus. With live podcast recordings, pop-up stores and guest speakers each afternoon, this is a space for you.
