Schedule For The Weekend

This is all yet to be decided, but the following is likely (but not certain) at this stage:

Friday 12th: we make our own way to Letton Hall (email Martin if you need a lift). The address is: Letton Hall, Shipdham, Thetford IP25 7SA
Saturday 13th: meetings, games and activities, including
- Worship/devotional sessions
- Walks
- Go-karting (for those 10 and over)
- Archery (for those 8 and over)
- Bonfire (weather permitting!)
- NLC's (in)famous entertainment/talent evening
Sunday 14th: church meeting in the morning and head home after lunch.

What About Food?

Letton Hall has a large commercial kitchen that we can use. We will be putting together a menu for the weekend and a team of church members to turn that into a delicious reality!

If you have any specific dietary requirements, please indicate these in the "Dietary Requirements" section for each person when you book them in.

Costs & Booking

The costs are as follows:

Adults: £115 per person (including accommodation and food)
Older Teens (16-17): £95 per person (including accommodation and food)
Kids (6-15): £85 per person (including accommodation and food)
Tinies (Under 6): £15 per person (food only)

In addition there are some options for activities for you to choose:

Archery (8 years and over) per person for an hour: £10
Go Karting (10 years and over) per person for an hour: £15

Finally, you are welcome to make an additional voluntary donation if you would like to: this would help those who require assistance to attend, because we would like all of our church family to come, if possible. If these costs do look difficult for you, please talk to Tim Anderson or Martin Wilde in confidence and we will resolve this for you.

If you have any other special requirements (eg if you need a lift), please indicate these in the "Other Requirements" section for each person when you book them in.

Booking is now open (see below) - but please can we ask everyone to sign up before 17th December 2026? That way we can start to plan our adventure in good time....

Looking forward to another amazing weekend away together!

NB: if you are having problems logging in or booking, contact Martin.

Important note: at the end of the registration process and before you hit "Go to payment", please check and note the total to be paid (shown just above and to the right of the blue "Go to Payment" box). Then add your payment card details and complete the payment process. Note that the website will first only authorise a payment of £0 from your card (which is why it - or any popup from your bank - will show only "£0"). Full payment will be taken a few minutes later. So - don't be concerned about this "£0" - just continue through the payment process and at the end of it you will see a "Thank you for your payment and registration".. message. If you want to check that the full payment has been taken, go to your bank's website a few minutes later. If you are really not sure, contact Martin WIlde for confirmation. You shoulad also receive a confirmation email from us a short time later.

Planning your Visit

A Warm 'Hello'!

The following information is specifically for those planning a visit, so that you know beforehand what to expect on a Sunday morning.

Where & When?

We meet at the University of Cambridge Primary School in Eddington (details below) for our Sunday Service, starting at 10am. When you arrive, you will be greeted by someone on our Welcome Team..

Accessibility

There is wheelchair access and a disabled toilet on the ground floor. There is wheelchair access to the first floor by lift.

Our Sunday Service

The main service begins at 10:00am with a warm welcome from one of our leadership team. Then follows a time of worship, led by our band. Sometimes a person might pray out loud or read a small passage from the Bible. Sometimes people share things that they believe God is saying to the whole church family. This might seem strange the first time that you hear it, but it’s all part of our connecting with God. One of our leaders will then give a sermon that is Bible-based and that we can apply to our everyday life. We then finish with a final worship song. There is always an opportunity to receive prayer at the end of the service.

What About My Kids?

We have a great programme lined up for kids of all ages (click on them to find out more about them):

King's Kidz (0-10 yrs)
Tribe (11-17 yrs)

We really value worshipping God together as a family, so we encourage children stay with their parent or grown-up at the start of the service for the welcome, songs and notices. After this, the children will go to their various groups. You will need to go with your children to their groups and register them as part of our Safeguarding Policy.

The kids' group activities vary depending on the age but usually there is a friendly welcome, Bible stories, testimonies, praying, music, craft, drama, fun games and free play. Please pick your children up as soon as the service finishes.

Getting Connected

Small Groups

While Sundays are a great way to meet new people, it is often in smaller gatherings that you can really get to know someone. Being part of one of our small groups allows you to make new friends, share together and support each other. We have a variety of groups that meet throughout the week, some afternoons and some evenings. Check out our Midweek Groups page and see if there’s one that you could join, or we can put you in touch with a small group leader who will be more than happy to invite you along to their group.

Serving & Volunteering

If you want to get involved in the life of the church and help us make Sundays run smoothly, you can sign up to serve on a team.

Other Ministries

We also run the following ministries (click on them to find out more about them):
