Conference dates: 1-8 August 2026
Exploring the theme of Knowing God
UPDATE (February 21, 2026): Hello everyone! At this point in time the castle is fully booked! This is the biggest conference we have ever had and the booking ladies have been working hard in the background to try our best to accommodate as many people as possible.
What does this mean for you if you really hope to attend but haven't managed to get booked in? There are a couple of options:
- You could book on your own to stay off-site and join us for meals/lectures/etc. Contact the booking secretaries if you want to go this route as they can advise you on the cost for meals at the castle and you can book in for day trips with them as well.
- We can put you on a stand-by list. We do sometimes have people need to back out for various reasons (family/health/etc) and there is a possibility that Castlewellan Castle management will release another room or two to us if they find they don't need them for staff. So while stand-by isn't a guarantee of a place, there is a good possibility that we will be able to fit in a few more people.
We're looking forward to a great opportunity for learning and fellowship this summer and are so excited by how many people are taking the time to come from all over the place to join us!

What to expect:
|
"It is the highlight of any believer's year. Excellent teaching, fellowship, fun and games." ~Julian K
"I cannot even begin to express how amazing I found the last Conference to be. It was an action packed week full of fellowship and fun with a God-centred focus. I left feeling physically tired and spiritually energized. I cannot wait for the next time around!" ~Kristin C |
"The BRF Conference consists of great teaching and fellowship, including a lot of informal fellowship meetings (singing Psalms into the evening); enjoyable visits to sites of historical and theological interest ... and simply a lot of fun with Christians from all over the world. And it is cheaper than staying in a standard B&B or hotel for a week."
~Rev. Martyn M "In my opinion, this BRF conference [2022] was so good it made up for not having had one two years ago." ~Samuel W |
