23-26th July 2026, Newark Showground
Focus is a chance to get together as a church family, to invest in our relationships with each other and with God.
We’ll gather with thousands of others as part of the wider HTB network to worship, hear inspiring talks, and pray for one another. It was one of the main highlights of 2025 and we can’t wait for Focus 2026!
In 2026 we are heading to Newark Showground in Nottinghamshire, where Focus has been held for the last 4 years. It has loads of great onsite venues for seminars, hangouts, cafés, kids’ activities, youth and more.
We will be camping alongside Saint Mary’s Church, Southampton, where we’ll eat together, invest in quality time, and have lots of fun!
