Spring Harvest 2026 No Greater Life: Embracing God’s design for whole-hearted love.
Join us again in 2026 as we embark on a transformative journey into the Great Commandment - an invitation from Jesus to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, and to love our neighbours as ourselves.
You can book to come back here next year, before you leave. The Holiday Booking Shop is open from 11.30 am on Wednesday, through to Friday morning. Wider booking will open on 11 June 2025. You will be able to book for Minehead 2026 while you are here, if you want to change and book for Skegness, you can do so from 11th June, when booking opens again.
Jesus said, “The most important [commandment] is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘Love your neighbour as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.” Mark 12:29-31
What does it truly mean to love with everything we are? How does this shape our lives, our relationships, and how we spend our time?
Together, we’ll dive into the book of Deuteronomy and the Gospel of Mark, unpacking what it means to Love God, Love One Another and Love our World - expressing his love in every part of our lives. Through inspiring teaching, worship, and fellowship, we’ll seek to embrace God’s design for whole-hearted love and explore the impact we can make when we live it out fully.
We can't wait to see you back here!

Your wristband will give you access to all of the Spring Harvest programme. Writing your mobile number on your loved-one’s wristband is a quick and effective way to help us reunite anyone who gets lost. It’s particularly important for children and those more likely to need help when separated from their group. They are quite robust but if you need to change yours take the old one to the Spring Harvest stand in the Skyline for a replacement.
There may be people who take advantage of the high level of trust at Spring Harvest. Do not leave items unsecured and unattended. Please exercise the same care of your children as you would at home. If you lose a child please speak to one of our stewards or someone at the Spring Harvest Stand. Taking a photo of your child each day on your phone is a good way to remember what they are wearing should they get lost. Guests under the age of 14 may not leave the resort unless accompanied by an adult. Spring Harvest do not take responsibility for young people who leave any of the youth venues during a session - this includes The Base.
Spring Harvest happens thanks to hundreds of volunteers. Please appreciate their efforts as they give their time and energy to serve God in this way.
All venues are wheelchair accessible and have a hearing loop. There are designated areas where you will have a clear view. Our Disability Consultant, Kay, and the stewards will be happy to help you.
If you are not able to read the songwords on the screen in The Gathering, we can provide braille printouts or can email them so you can read them on your own reader or tablet. We can also provide large print copies. Please call our office on 01825 705201 if these would be useful and you've not told us already.
Speech-to-text and BSL is provided in Studio 36 during the morning sessions and in the first Celebration. You will also be able to see BSL on the relay in the Skyline of the second Celebration. BSL is available by request in other venues as the team are able.
If you will need assistance to leave a venue in an emergency please tell a steward when you arrive at each session.
If you are a blue badge holder, booked in Butlin's accommodation and need a parking permit but have not yet spoken to a member of the Butlin's team, please call their guest services to ask for help. You will also be able to reclaim the £15 ground floor supplement.
Some venues may use water-vapour mist, lighting effects and loud music. Sound levels are monitored at all times. If you are uncomfortable, please first try moving to a different part of the venue.
Visit Soulspace this week for creative inspiration to help you pray through the theme - Tuesday-Thursday 8am - 10pm in Quayside. All ages are welcome.
If you would like to talk or pray with someone, the pastoral team would love to help. Visit our team of experienced volunteers in the Pastoral Centre at Pacific Wharf C7 to make an appointment.

Everything you hear at Spring Harvest, whether from the stage, in conversation or in prayer, should be weighed with care. Essential Christian and Spring Harvest do not necessarily endorse everything that is said and cannot take responsibility for any emotional impact or for actions or decisions made as a result. A wide range of ideas and opinions will be expressed through our diverse guests and team, so we ask everyone to exercise individual consideration in response. We recommend seeking clarifying counsel in a setting where you are known, such as your local church, prior to taking things to heart or making decisions based on what you have heard.
We are again streaming content from Studio 36 to people all over the country - (and further afield) as Spring Harvest Home. If you have friends who would like to share in the worship and teaching you're enjoying this week, it's not too late for them to sign up - direct them to www.springharvest.org/events/news/spring-harvest-home-2025 or you can sign up and watch again when you get home, available until middle May.
Thanks to partnerships with Green Pastures, WayOutTV, HMPPS, Prison Chaplains, and a network of Christian organizations dedicated to supporting prisoners year-round, we will again be bringing worship, teaching, and prayer ministry into prison cells across the country.
This year, we’re pioneering again. In partnership with Green Pastures on Thursday 17th April from 8.45am - 10.45pm Spring Harvest will be freely available on our YouTube channel.
It will be livestreamed into homeless communities across the nation, through church buildings and safe homes and to those who want to join in across the world.
If you can't make it into Studio 36, or want a more relaxed setting to watch the teaching, morning and evening sessions in Studio 36 will be relayed to the Skyline or you can join in the the Pyjama Celebration in the evening!
In addition, with an internet-connected device you can access the event programme and see and hear the sessions in progress from anywhere on the resort.

Spring Harvest and agencies authorised by us will take photographs and make video and audio recordings during the event, which may lead to your image or voice being on albums, publicity material, website, television, radio and live-streaming broadcasts. This may include circulation outside the UK. Videos are made of meetings in the main venues which may include some brief shots of guests. Please come to the Spring Harvest Team Office early in the week if you would prefer not to be included in any photographs and recordings.

We are so grateful for those who support the ministry of Spring Harvest through the year. Together, we are fighting for the next generation to encounter Jesus and be equipped for life with him.
One-off gifts are heroic too, but monthly gifts really help us. Could you spread your gift over 12 months?
As well as making all of our ministry possible, monetary gifts fill the ‘Everyone In Fund’ which is more needed than ever. This year more than 700 people have been supported to come to Spring Harvest with a contribution from this fund.
Donations are managed by our friends at Stewardship.
