WE’RE HEADING TO WILDFIRES
ARE YOU COMING?
Wildfires is a three-day festival at the Wiston Estate, West Sussex, UK, from the 23rd-26th August.
People of all ages come together from different church communities, hungry to see revival in our time; gathering around campfires that deepen friendships and community. Together we’ll worship, pray, listen to teaching, and encounter the Holy Spirit to take back to our homes, communities and our nations.
Pete and Bee have been part of the Wildfires leadership team since it launched in 2018, and with KXC, joined other church communities and organisations including 24-7 Prayer, Worship Central, Bible Society, and Tearfund.

KXC is camping in a dedicated Village together with the other Table churches. Our Wildfires Village Hall will have fridges, power points and lighting, and lots of space to socialise and eat together. The Wildfires Village and the General Camping Area will have a fire pit with hay bales for seating so you can make new friends and enjoy those cosy evening fireside chats.
Please select KXC as your church when you book and you will have a camping spot in our village.
