Keswick Convention takes place annually, bringing together thousands of like-minded Christians who want to hear God’s Word, become like God’s Son and serve God’s Mission.

We offer a wide programme of activities and events. You can choose whatever you would like to attend. Explore the “Convention” menu above to find out what’s on offer and how you can get involved.

This summer’s programme will be released closer to the time of the event.

Nothing!

Through the generosity of our supporters we are able to make the Convention freely available to all, including Kids & Youth activities (apart from an occasional ticketed concert).

We estimate that it costs about £180 for an adult to attend the Convention for a week. We recognise that some people can’t give this much, whilst others may be able to give much more. Everyone is equally welcome. During the Convention we provide opportunities for people to contribute as they feel able. You can also make a gift here to support the Convention. 

There is no registration or booking needed to attend the event, except for those attending the Kids & Keswick Youth programme.

You can find more information here about the Kids & Youth programme.

There is an on-site creche with a TV relay—open for morning Bible Readings, Evening Celebrations and the Keswick Lecture.

Parental supervision is required at all times. Baby changing facilities available. A creche is available for children under the age of 3. 

On the Convention site, there is a relay venue in Base Camp. This is a smaller space seating space and a quieter venue during meeting times.

Keswick Methodist Church will be relaying Bible Readings, Evening Celebrations, Main Tent seminars and the Keswick Lecture throughout the three weeks. The premises are fully wheelchair accessible, loop system, suitable for the visually impaired, and dog friendly.

Watch on YouTube – All Main Tent sessions on Livestream and seminar sessions on catch-up following the event.

There is allocated seating inside the main tent towards the stage where there is also a BSL signer. There is also allocated seating at the back of the Main Tent. Stewards will be able to help you locate these areas on arrival.

The relay venue in Base Camp is also wheelchair-user-friendly.

Keswick town and local area is very dog-friendly with hospitality, shopping and attractions that are all dog-friendly, not to mention beautiful walks to explore the countryside.

We do not allow animals on to the Keswick Convention site except for guide, hearing, or registered assistance dogs, including those in training.
