JOIN US AT WILDFIRES 2026
Wildfires is a three-day festival at the Wiston Estate, West Sussex, UK, from 23rd to 26th July 2026. KXC have been part of the event since its launch in 2018, and we camp together as a church alongside others in the TABLE family. We share meals and spend time together with friends old and new. It’s an event not to miss!
New for 2026 is Wildfires Youth, a festival-within-a-festival for young people in Years 7-13. Young people will be camping together on the Youth Village. Along with some amazing speakers and worship teams, our Youth will be contending for a move of God in this nation. They’ll also have tons of fun!
The event organisers are expecting Wildfires to sell out early in 2026 - we recommend booking on as soon as possible if you’re keen to attend!

KXC is camping in a dedicated Village together with the other TABLE churches. Our Village Hall will have power points and lighting, and lots of space to socialise and eat together. The TABLE Village will have a fire pit with hay bales for seating so you can make new friends and enjoy those cosy evening fireside chats.
Please select KXC as your church when you book and you will have a camping spot in our village.

TABLE is a family of churches bonded by the desire to do more and be more together than we could apart. It began in 2018 as a group of friends seeking to support one another on the journey of planting charismatic Anglican churches. Since then, the family has grown to include churches across the UK, many of whom have also planted again. You can read more here.
