After running for 15 years, the popular Bible holiday conference will now be permanently shutting.

Since their former venue, Pontins Holiday Park, unexpectedly closed down, the Word Alive trustees have been searching for alternative sites – including holiday parks, universities and even cruise ships. Unable to find an option that was both affordable and sustainable, however, the difficult decision was made to bring the conference to an end.
