We will be returning on March 5th and 6th 2027!

We are delighted to be hosting Respond at St Aldates Church in Oxford!

St Aldate's, Oxford OX1 1BT

There is parking available just 10 minuets away at Westgate shopping centre or at Oxpens car park near the Oxford Ice Rink. A cheaper alternative is one of the Oxford Park and Ride services. The Redbridge park and ride offers a bus service outside the church (stop H3), every 5 minutes on any of the buses marked X1, X2, X3, X32 or X40 River Rapids.

By Train:

Oxford Train Station is less than a 20 minute walk to the church. Once you arrive, head towards the city centre in the direction of Carfax Tower before turning right on St Aldate’s Road. You will see Christchurch College opposite the church.

Registration and doors open on the Friday at 7:30pm and on Saturday at 9:30am. We will start both days soon after this so please look to arrive in pleanty of time. When you arrive, head straight to the Registration point at the front of the church to collect all you need for the weekend.

Breakfast and Lunch will be provided at St. Aldates on the Saturday. Being situated in the city centre there are lots of great places to go for dinner with those in your church. There are also number of restaurants at the top of Westgate shopping centre. Being a weekend, we would suggest booking in advance to ensure you get a table!

2 years ago, a group of us came together to dream about what it would look like to gather together and contend for a generation in a moment where we could see God moving powerfully in the church. A fire was set in our hearts to come from each of our communities and call on the Holy Spirit to send us and anoint us in the areas, vocations and cities that we have been called to.

In 2026 it began. Hundreds came to Oxford to exalt the name of Jesus. But we believe that was just the start. In 2027 we gather together again as a network of churches as we believe that this is a moment not just to observe - but to respond.
