Preaching is not merely a performance; it is a sacred calling. Yet, between the demands of pastoral care, administrative oversight, and the constant noise of the digital era, even the most seasoned communicators can find their creative well running dry.
The Festival of Preaching aims to inspire, nurture and celebrate all who are called to proclaim the gospel today. Featuring outstanding speakers, it offers a stimulating and varied programme of worship, lectures and workshops.
Join us for the 2026 Festival of Preaching, a dedicated space for clergy, lay ministers and all who preach to enrich their craft, rediscover their prophetic voice, learn new ways of engaging a distracted culture and addressing today’s anxieties. Hospitality is a key part of the Festival offering opportunities to renew old and make new friendships.
We are confident this Festival will refresh and re-energise your energies, deepen your ministry and learn (or re-discover) preaching skills to enable the spiritual growth of your congregation.
Please join us!
