The Common Room is our unique venue open to those in years 12 and 13 in the mornings to come along and grab some breakfast and a coffee. We’ll dive into different topics, aided by some sage people, influencers, and artists. For After Hours the venue transforms into a chilled-out lounge - think hot chocolates, board games and a bit of live music!

The Hub is our venue for young people with additional needs. Additional needs just means anything that may make it more challenging for a young person to access the Youth programme, that could be physical disability, learning difficulties, health conditions or mental health challenges. We're here to ensure that no young person lacks the support they need to have an amazing time at Focus Youth. We have a dedicated team who look out for young people in the Hub and across the different youth venues.

The Hub will be open during all the main sessions and is close to both the Common Room and the Youth Centre, so young people are free to move between the Hub and the venue for their age group depending on what is best for them.

In both the Youth Centre and the Common Room, each young person has a dedicated team member to guide them through the mornings.

In the Youth Centre the pop-ups will be open, there'll be worship, seminars to choose from, and time together in small groups to explore the Bible. We call our seminars ‘Silent Labs’ as we have three different seminar streams played through silent disco headphones.

In the Common Room year 12 and 13s will have time to worship, hear from God, listen to different speakers and journey through the theme with their small group and leader.

We have a load of activities on offer during the afternoons. The upgraded inflatable arena will be waiting for you, along with the basketball court, skate ramps, seminars, prayer and journalling space, arcade, Bridge The Gap football tournament, plus the UV cafe will have slushies on tap to keep you going!

Come along with your youth group to the session, don't worry if you're not with one - we've got good people ready to meet you. We’ll all gather together in the Youth Centre to worship, hear from some fantastic speakers and have time to pray together and connect with God.

Each evening there’ll be space to hang out with mates in the Common Room over a hot chocolate, time to explore the pop-ups in the Youth Centre and join in with things like silent discos, movie nights, roller discos, glow in the dark football and more!

This year the three silent lab seminar streams will tackle the theme through a slightly different lens. One will have more of a theological focus, another will host a panel of influencers and the third will follow a more practical approach. The silent labs will be accessed through silent disco headphones during the Youth Centre Morning Sessions.
