Kilbroney Weekend Blast 2026
This year's Kilbroney Weekend Blast is from 23–25 Oct and is open to anyone in Years 11-14 (ages 14-18). Our theme is Rethrone.
Rethrone
In certain corners of culture right now, following Jesus has become genuinely fashionable. High-profile conversions and public faith journeys from artists and public figures have pushed Christianity back into the cultural conversation, and it's even shown up as a genuine trend among teenagers, some finding their way to faith through social media rather than a church building.
But faith in Christ isn't a trend to ride - it's a way of life. Jesus' teachings show us what it actually means to follow him and make him our King.
This weekend, we're digging into what that actually looks like. Not the hashtag version of faith, but the real thing - what Jesus said, why it still matters, and what it means to actually follow him rather than just admire him from a distance. Come with questions. Come with doubts. Come and find out what all the fuss is really about.
What you'll be doing
As well as Bible teaching sessions and discussion there’ll be activities and team challenges plus a campfire, late-night worship and other stuff we haven't thought of yet...! Our venue is the fantastic Kilbroney Centre outside Rostrevor.
