Details on your colour cluster will be provided closer to the event. There will be a delivery point at the entrance of each cluster where your food will be dropped off. Please arrange to be free during the delivery slot so that you can pick up your shopping promptly, and bring some muscle with you to get your food back to camp!

None of the events taking place at Focus are compulsory so essentially you have as much free time as you need. We do recommend however, attending the morning and evening events that take place all together as these are key times to gather and worship as one big community. If you are on team, you will be informed of the times you are required to serve so you know when you have free time.

Day tickets will be released approximately six weeks before the event. Please note, only children attending Focus for the whole event will be able to join the Focus Kids program.

We want everyone to be able to come to Focus so if money is an issue, please do get in touch with us.

Pets are unfortunately not allowed on-site, with the exception of guide dogs for the blind, dogs for the deaf and assistance dogs for people with disabilities. Please contact us should you need to bring a guide dog or an assistance dog on-site.
