All 25,000 church-goers together at the Main Stage.

At least 25,000 music lovers from a wide range of Christian denominations once again descended on the grounds of Wiston House, West Sussex, at the end of May.

The eighth Big Church Day Out saw artists from London to Australia arrive in Sussex to perform. The weekend, full of fun, fellowship, music and worship, lived up to its reputation as one of the largest and most successful Christian events in the country.

Big Church Day Out offers the chance to praise God with songwriters Tim Hughes and Matt Redman and gives less well-known musicians the opportunity to make a name for themselves. There were also theatre productions, children’s activities and even a pop-up farm!
