Where can I eat?

Across the festival site we have 3 fantastic cafes Cafe Connect situated next to St Johns Venue, Oasis at the Octagon and NEW for this year The Courtyard Cafe situated across the road from St Johns Venue in the Old Vicarage.

Due to the continued growth of Alive a new cafe is being opened this year. Situated outside under a giant awning enjoy all the great food and drink offerings you would get in the other cafes outside!

Café Connect – the place to be, to meet with friends, treat yourself to your favourite cake or drink; discuss, debate, encourage, and connect with each other and be blessed by our Amazing God.  Our lovely team will be on hand to serve and assist you in whatever way we can!!

We have a corner for busy mums & dads to relax while your toddler delights in our box of toys; we will be hosting various Forums during the festival, where you can grab a coffee, cake and share in the discussion.  We will be connected to the church for the main teaching and worship, and some seminars, so come along and see us and be free to soak up some of the buzz (or cake).
Not forgetting the After Hours Jazz Café with live music and non-alcoholic bar after the Evening Celebration.

The Oasis Café in the Octagon is somewhere you can be sure of a friendly welcome and a relaxed atmosphere.  It is a place to unwind between seminars and meetings with a choice of hot and cold drinks, cakes and snacks.  If you just want space to take in what God is saying to you and time to think or be with friends then come during the seminar times when it is at its most peaceful.

Alongside the Oasis Café, the Octagon building also boasts an exceptionally well stocked Christian Bookshop where you will find Bibles, commentaries and a range of Christian books by some well known authors.
A comfortable and private room for nursing mothers to use will be available for most of the weekend.
