Newark Showground

We are excited to bring Focus 2024 back to Newark Showground.

Newark Showground is centrally located and easily accessible for many of our Network churches. Boasting of built-in, onsite facilities such as toilets, showers, power, water, and disabled access; the numerous onsite venues and halls offer great opportunities for seminars, cafés, kid’s activities, and Youth. The network of small roads across the site makes Focus even more accessible for little ones in buggies and those with restricted mobility needs.

We’re working hard on the site layout for Focus 2024 at Newark and will update you as soon as we can. If you’d like to stay up-to-date with all the latest Focus news, don’t forget to subscribe to our mailing list below.

  • We want Focus to feel like a home away from home. We appreciate that each of us have different budgets and one type of accommodation doesn’t fit all so we’ve sourced a variety of accommodation options, from basic camping to electric pitches and live-in vehicles, to enable everyone to find something to suit them at Focus. If none of these work for you, there’s also the option of finding local accommodation offsite.

    Head over to the accommodation pages of our website for more information.

  • The nearest train station is Newark North Gate or Newark Castle, both just a five minute drive to Newark Showground. Find out more information on our travel page.

  • Head over to our Local Information page for details.

  • We would love you to, and we’re sure your fellow campers would too! There are several toilet & shower blocks, fresh water points and washing-up areas across the site that will all be clearly marked on the site map.
