We are devastated by the serious incident that took place at Big Church Festival 2026 today, in which a sign fell, injuring at least seven people, one of whom tragically lost their life.

First and foremost, all of our thoughts are with those who have been affected, their families and friends, and everyone who witnessed what happened.

Following today’s incident, we have made the decision to bring Big Church Festival 2026 to a close.

For all future updates, please visit our website.

Tell me you have a toddler at church without telling me you have a toddler at church… 😂⛪️

Highlight was during prayers… “Mummy why is everyone sleeping?” In a loud clear voice 🙄

Because sometimes church involves worship, prayer and reflection… and sometimes it involves a toddler enthusiastically spreading out the contents of “her” bag. 😂

And that’s exactly how it should be. ❤️

Church is for everyone — including our smallest (and messiest!) members.

The team will be here at Creamfields all day and all night - whatever the weather! Pop into the tent for a jammy dodger, a chat or simply somewhere to chill out and regather your thoughts

⛺️🎶 The Church tent today at Creamfields 🎶⛺️

Church isn’t just about what happens inside a building… sometimes it looks like a tent in the middle of Creamfields! 🙌

This weekend, the amazing We Are The Church team are at Creamfields, creating a space where festival-goers can stop, chat, rest, pray, ask questions, or simply find a friendly face. ❤️

Please pray for everyone involved — for conversations that matter, opportunities to share faith, people who feel welcomed and loved, and for God to be at work in all the unexpected moments. 🙏

And of course… we’re very grateful for all those Jammy Dodgers being eaten! 🍪😂

Go team! ⛺️❤️🎶
