Join us in our field in Parbold for a handmade celebration of music, food and fun.
Created by Christians who believe Love is the Way, Joy is for sharing and Peace isn’t just for hippies.
Since 2019 we have been nurturing something special. We've seen it grow and we would love for you to be part of Surfstage 2025.
This is a place where people who would never set foot in a church stumble into God's presence.
Surfstage is unique because it is not just for Christians, it's an event you can invite anyone to, confident they will enjoy it. They will gently experience an atmosphere soaked in the Holy Spirit with no pressure to gen involved if they'd rather stay in the beer tent!
"Surprisingly legit"!
"I've been to lots of Christian festivals, but Surfstage is different. The onsite brewery, incredible food from the pub and the great music all made it surprisingly legit and so easy to invite friends to without any fear of embarrassment!"
Would you like to lead worship at a festival that is as vibrant and varied as our world?
Do you want to create a space for everyone to flourish?
Will you make a joyful noise in the middle of a mission field?
We are sisters, Rachel and Katie, we love Jesus and want to see the Kingdom of God on earth.
Through our hospitality businesses we have been led to use our land, capital, experience and community links to host Surfstage; a festival for everyone.
Over the years, our core team has grown to include vicar Rev Will Gibbons, artist Caroline McCaul, banker Jonathan Churchward and distinctive deacon David Coslett.

What DID people say about
surfstage 2024?
A RARE, REMARKABLE SET UP
"A lot of the time my faith feels hidden, but there was a safe space to worship openly and freely".
OPEN HEAVEN
A visiting archdeacon said, "What's happening here is amazing. Do you realise you are worshipping under an open heaven?"
RESTORATION
"Surfstage restored what the locust had eaten. I was sitting in the middle of a field listening to music with my friends around me and something was restored".
SURPRISINGLY LEGIT
"I've been to lots of Christian festivals, but Surfstage is different. The onsite brewery, incredible food from the pub and the great music all made it surprisingly legit and so easy to invite friends to without any fear of embarrassment!"
