PAST EVENTS
A group of us will be heading up to Wembley for July 7th 2024. Join us or make your own way there – do book your place for this National Gathering!
Once again a highlight of the year will be our Summer Young Adult camp, there is an early bird discount until the end of May, spaces are limited so please do book your tickets ASAP. Food & space in a tent is included. The venue for this year will once again be Wildside Experience in the remote Blackdown Hills near the historic Dunkeswell Abbey.
This year we’re again longing to meet with King Jesus.
Joining us on the day we’ve got Elle Limebear, John McGinley, Grace Wheeler, Jodie Lintern, David Plowman (PALAU), Sophie Gilbert, Roscoe Crawley, Sam Burton, Prayer Ministry Teams and many others joining us.
Young adults have travelled for hours just to be part of what’s happening. In 2025, over 100 young adults gathered in a Church to hear what Josh Green had to say on being Ready for Jesus — the night ended with a raw, desperate cry for revival from Gen Z- a prayer we are now seeing God answering.
The 2026 event will be a full day of encounter and equipping; with a theme we’re praying into right now: GO! — calling a generation to rise up, be bold, and share the joy and good news of the gospel.
The event is hosted by AWAKEN in partnership with The Send, Fusion, Alpha, Palau Europe, Incoming Ministries, SWYM & Creation Fest — over the past 12 months we’ve worked with over 50 churches and ministries across the region, all with one heart: to see a Great Awakening among young adults in the South West
Venue: North Street Church, Taunton, TA1 1LW, no parking at the church, parking in local carparks, Canon St Carpark or Wood St Carpark. 10mins walk from Taunton train and Taunton bus station.
Christmas Event – Sat 6th Dec 2025
Last year we hosted a regional young adult event called RESET, this year the theme is ‘READY’, a call to be ready for Jesus return (Mark 13v32-37). Are the priorities in our life correct, what is stopping us being ready, are we lukewarm?
