Wildfires Youth 2026

The FESTIVAL within the festival

Since 2018 Wildfires has been passionate about seeing a fresh wave of the Holy Spirit poured out in these lands and across the emerging generations. That’s why in 2026 we are launching Wildfires Youth Festival – the young people of this land are no longer the focus of our prayers, they are the driving force of this movement.

BOOK YOUR TICKETS

Booking Process:

Please use the above BOOK YOUR TICKETS button to provide contact information for a Primary Youth Leader and book tickets for the youth group and youth leaders.

Upon completion of this form you will be sent the Group Information Form where you must submit names and DBS for any additional youth leaders, as well as names and parent contact information for your youth group.

Once you have completed the Group Information Form, the Parent Form will be sent to the parents of each young person in your group so we can collect more detailed information about each of them.

Finally, later this year we will send you the Camping Form which will allow you to tell us more about your pitch requirements and hire extra equipment.

Bookings

1. Youth groups can camp independently on the Youth Campsite if they are camping with a Primary Youth Leader (Over 21 years old) and a Secondary Youth Leader.
