  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Electric pitches will be situated on the perimeter of the colour zone that your church is located in.

  • If you are planning on driving to Focus 2025, please ensure you register your vehicle when you book your tickets. Registering your car allows you to secure your parking space! Please head to our travel page to see our Site Traffic Rules.

  • Yes, there are lots of food options onsite including hot meals and supplies for camping. In the Paddock, there will be a wide range of different food stalls serving meals and snacks from around the world!

  • If you're running low on supplies but don't want to leave the action on site, you can do your shopping online and arrange for it to be delivered to you!

    You'll need to make sure you've provided the supermarket with a mobile number, the contractor entrance postcode (NG24 2NY) and which colour cluster you are in, as they'll call you when they have arrived on site so that you can come and collect your purchases. We will provide details on your colour cluster closer to the event. There will be a delivery point at the entrance of each cluster where your food will be dropped off. Please do arrange to be free during the delivery slot so that you can pick up your shopping promptly and bring some muscle with you to get your food back to your camp!

  • We appreciate that large scale events are known for being notoriously difficult when it comes to sustainability and looking after our environment. Focus really want to break the mould on this and are implementing key measures to ensure we are being as Green as possible! Please check out our Green Page to find out more. We always welcome new ideas, so please email focus@revitalisetrust.org with any thoughts you may have!

  • If you plan on needing a power supply during your time at Focus, we’d advise booking an electric camping pitch and you will be allocated a 13xamp socket (the same as you would have at home!) for your individual use. If you don’t need to book an electric pitch, you can speak with your church leader to see if they are planning on providing electricity for your group. We’d also advise packing your own portable charger!
