Young Adults venue Festival

Young Adults (18-30s)

The Young Adults venue gives those aged 18-30 opportunity to connect with other young adults at Cliff Festival.

Are you aged 18-30? Want the opportunity to meet with other young adults across the Festival? We hope that you connect with all that’s taking place across the Festival programme, but if you want some time to join up with others of a similar age then check out what’s on offer specifically for Young Adults. 

 The Chill Lounge will be open most evenings, a relaxed space to chill, chat, play board games (if that’s your thing) or just snooze on a bean bag! There will also be opportunities for morning worship, Bible study and late-night worship together, as well as sessions in the afternoon. 

We know that Young Adults are a hungry bunch so look out for our sessions where there is free refreshments or food! Our afternoon sessions are varied, from talking about the big questions of life and death and interviews with guests to learning a new crafting skill – there’ll be something for everyone. 

We’re looking forward to meeting you – find us in the Chapel.
