The New Wine Ireland summer holiday conference provides a great opportunity for people of all ages and backgrounds to spend time worshipping God, receiving from Him through practical teaching and prayer ministry, as well as meeting new people and spending time with family and friends.
Whether on your own, with your church or with family or friends, come and be inspired to change lives, communities and the nation!

Conference fees

In order to make the conference accessible to as many people as possible we have held the rate a and rate b adult prices to the same as 2009, and we have introduced a flat rate for kids and teens.
Full fees must be received by the payment deadlines in order to qualify for discounts. Reduced payment deadlines are strict and New Wine Ireland can take no responsibility for postal delays.

We can book self catering accommodation on your behalf in the 3 star Yeats and Grove Holiday Villages. They are situated right beside the conference facilities and come in a variety of shapes and sizes.
You can choose from a 5 bedroom house, 2 or 3 bedroom apartments or single or double ensuite rooms. The single or double rooms will be part of an apartment and will have a shared living and kitchen facilities. You can bring extra beds/cots etc at no additional cost.

Speaker info

“What’s in store”
for grown ups
We start off with the main Bible teaching, with Michael Cassidy leading a teaching series throughout the week, including worship and ministry.
We gather at the end of the day for the evening celebration, where we’re joined by a different speaker each evening.

throughout the day
Interested in social justice, mission or spiritual growth? How about relationships, leadership or ethics? Or maybe you are “just looking” at the Christian faith. With lots of seminars to choose from, led by some of the most experienced practitioners, there’ll definitely be something for you.

for not-so grown ups
0-10s
Throughout the week, our top-quality children’s groups deliver a combination worship, teaching, games, craft and general mayhem. There’s a programme specifically tailored for every age group, from the tiniest tots to the coolest pre-teens.
11-18s
You’ll never be bored with a jam-packed programme of celebrations, workshops, games and mess. This year we are introducing an evening celebration for 11-18 year olds with a great line up of speakers and times of worship and ministry.

special needs
Because we believe the gospel is for everyone, we want everyone to find a place where they can grow in faith and worship. We run a programme each day for adults with learning disabilities which includes worship, teaching, games and craft, run by Prospects.

for everyone
There’s a whole host of stuff going on including family fun afternoons, football tournaments, and the opportunity to explore Sligo town, the local beaches and the many other tourist attractions in the area.

the hub
A great space filled with a fair-trade café and shop, exhibition stands from different mission and ministry organisations across Ireland and beyond, a “shop” to buy the best books and CDs available, sofas, games and friendly people.
And when the sun goes down there’s the ever popular “Sligo nights” programme to keep you entertained.

What’s new for 2010?
One of the major changes we are introducing this year is the conference will run from Sunday evening(11th) until Friday evening(16th). This means that there will five mornings of the bible teaching and six evening celebrations.
This change also gives us the opportunity to have a “day off” on Wednesday(14th) when we will run the first morning session and evening celebration only.

Join the team
The conference depends on a lot of people being part of the volunteer teams. Whether it is the youth and kids teams, stewarding or other support teams we need people to volunteer. If you would like to apply to be on one of the teams you can download a form here.
