It’s the kind of festival that reminds you of the importance of a loving, conversational and connected community.

The festival is in Parbold, on the 4 to the 5 July (2026), and is a huge celebration of music, arts, food and fun! Come visit us at our stand, everyone and anyone welcome!!

Incredible artists will be there such as…

Surfstage Festival is created by Christians (something we have in common) and so we proudly affirm their statement:
‘Love is the Way, Joy is for sharing and Peace isn’t just for hippies!’

You can come and see what you helped to raise last year- brand new classroom furniture for Kiyindi, Uganda.

So, why not see what we’re up to this year… it should be quite a splash!

We want to see rural communities in Uganda have improved access to clean water, come and help us!
