2 Epic Christian Events You Can't Miss This August 2025

I'm still buzzing from the Altar worship concert a few weeks ago.. one word: amazing! The atmosphere, the presence, the way thousands of voices united in worship... it reminded me why these live Christian events are so transformative.

Which brings me to August. The UK Christian calendar is about to explode with two extraordinary events that promise to take that same powerful experience and amplify it across four incredible days. Whether you're seeking deep spiritual renewal or joyful celebration, these back-to-back experiences offer the perfect combination of prayer, worship, and community.

Battle for Britain – Prayer Storm Conference

August 21-23 | Manchester Central

Before the celebration comes the preparation. Three days of radical intercession and spiritual breakthrough await as believers across the UK unite to pray for our nation. This isn't your typical conference; it's a spiritual battle cry for revival!

What makes it unmissable:

• Intense worship and prophetic prayer sessions
• Family-friendly with dedicated kids and youth programs
• Focus on national spiritual renewal and unity
• A chance to stand with thousands interceding for breakthrough

Big Church Festival – UK's Largest Christian Celebration

August 22-24 | Wiston Estate, West Sussex

Imagine 20,000+ believers worshipping together under open skies. The UK's biggest Christian festival delivers world-class artists, inspiring teaching, and an atmosphere that lifts your spirit for months afterwards.

The lineup that'll blow you away:

• Phil Wickham, Brandon Lake, Martin Smith, Israel & New Breed, Faith Child & more
• Multiple stages from intimate worship to main arena experiences
• All-day children and youth programs that actually engage
• Mission focus with Compassion UK supporting global child sponsorship

The Perfect Storm: Why Do Both?

Here's the genius timing: these events overlap perfectly. Prayer and spiritual preparation in Manchester then flow directly into celebration and worship in West Sussex. It's like spiritual boot camp followed by the victory party.

Planning Your Epic Weekend

For Prayer Storm: Register early and consider the family options, your kids can experience their own age-appropriate prayer and worship journey.

For Big Church: Tickets sell out fast. Choose between camping (full experience) or day tickets (perfect for families). Arrive early to soak up the pre-event atmosphere.

Ready to Transform Your August?

Planning multiple events may feel overwhelming. But after experiencing that raw, powerful worship at The Altar just weeks ago, I know these aren't just events you attend, they're encounters that reshape you. Prayer Storm prepares your heart, Big Church ignites your passion, and together they create a weekend that could redefine your faith journey completely.

• Prayer Storm: Visit prayerstorm.org to register
• Big Church Festival: Secure tickets at bigchurchfestival.com
• Both: Gather your community—these experiences are even more powerful when shared
