SUMMER
HOLYDAYS

At luminous we take fun seriously.

That’s why we are organising two summer holydays for 2012.

We are organising them on behalf of Lincoln Diocese (Anglican) but they are open to people from any church, or none.

Read on to find out more, go to our contacts page to take the conversation further.

Which appeals to you most?

A warm sunny hill side surrounded by woods, mountains, and vineyards,

or meeting five thousand young people from all over the world?

Great social times,

or chilled out time to yourself?

Deep and meaningful conversations about life, the universe and everything,  

or just having a laugh with mates?

Getting away from all the stuff that does your head in,

or spending time getting your head together?

Worshipping in a church with five thousand people singing at the same time,

or meditating in silence?

Would you believe us if we told you we found a place you could do it all?

Well we have.

Honestly.

Join us for a week in Taizé, an ecumenical monastic community in Burgundy, France.

Greenbelt is a seriously cool Christian arts festival ‘where art, faith and justice collide’.

This what they say of themselves

We host a rich programme of music visual and performing arts, spirituality, comedy and talks and discussion. The diversity of content not only demonstrates our commitment to the arts, faith and justice, but also our underlying values of tolerance, dialogue and hope.

Our 37-year history is firmly rooted within a Christian tradition which is world-affirming, politically and culturally engaged. Ours is a belief that embraces instead of excludes. And, as such, the Festival is family-friendly celebration, inclusive and accepting of all, regardless of ethnicity, gender, sexuality, background or belief.

We do all we can to keep the festival as accessible as we can, offering a range of discounted, family and local ticket deals as well as giving away 1% of tickets each year (through our Open Festival scheme) to people who otherwise would not be able to afford to go to Greenbelt – or any other Festival. And we try to make a difference beyond the Festival, through our campaigning activity and through Trust Greenbelt, which gives grants to quirky, entrepreneurial, risky community projects combining arts, faith and justice.

Our focus will always be running a Festival over August Bank Holiday weekend. But, increasingly, we are looking to host and collaborate on events around the country year-round, reflecting the openness, bravery and creativity of the Festival’s community and its spirit.

Luminous will be there, and we'll be leading some of the worship.
