Children must be at least 8 years old at the start of Spree.
If they turn 8 during Spree, they will need to have an under 8’s ticket (with their parent/helper present). Children under 8 must be supervised by their parents at all times.

The car park is within the boundaries of the site, and security will patrol this area.

Do You Provide for Children with Special Educational Needs?
We want Spree to be a welcoming and inclusive space where all children and young people can explore and grow in faith.
We’re continuing to develop our provision in this area and are excited to share what’s planned for 2025.
Mark Arnold from Urban Saints will be on site throughout the weekend as our Additional Needs Lead. A Sensory Space will be available during activity times in the Explore venue, offering a calm environment with helpful resources for regulation.
Each of the six main venues will include a sensory tent with resources and a team member available to support Leaders in helping children and young people engage with the session as needed.
On arrival day, there will be an Additional Needs Check-in at the Info Point for any leaders or young people with questions or individual needs to discuss. We’ll also offer an early arrival tour for those who would benefit from seeing the site before it gets too busy.
Can I Stay Offsite?
Yes, you can stay offsite. For safety reasons, please ensure to sign in and out at the Info Point between 8AM and 11PM. For young people leaving the site, they will need to be accompanied by an adult at Info Point and receive a check-out ticket.
If you need to leave the site with a young person outside of these hours, night security will require permission from their Group Leader.
Can I come to Spree SW independently of a church group?
Spree SW is structured in a way that requires attendees to join a registered organisation such as a church or youth ministry for safety reasons. Please contact us if you need help finding a local group to join.
