Frequently Asked Questions

There are many different bookings options available, including separate passes for the whole weekend, for single days, and for different accommodation options.

We want the Convention to be open to everyone. Each year ee have different options on our booking page - a full admission ticket that reflects the cost, as well as a ticket by donation.

If you can afford to, we would be grateful if you could purchase a full price ticket option. If you are able to donate more, to allow us to provide admission to someone who can’t pay, please also use the ‘weekend admission (by donation)’ option.

If the admission cost would prevent you from attending, please instead donate what you are able to using the ‘weekend admission(by donation)’ - we would be blessed to have you join us.

This admission gives you access to every talk, seminar and session during the weekend.

Please note - accommodation is not included in this ticket - please use the add-on tickets for accommodation options. Further accommodation options also available nearby through other providers.

We have accommodation available onsite – camping and camping pods can be booked via our booking page. There are also many accommodation providers, such as hotels and bed & breakfasts nearby. Please see our Helpful Info page for links to some of our accommodation partners.

We will provide volunteers with accommodation and food during the weekend.

We are so grateful for any support for the Cairngorms Convention. As well as volunteering, the other two ways to help support us are through prayer and giving.

We will be providing sessions for children aged from 4-16. Primary school-aged children's work will be provided in the mornings by Out of the Box, Inverness. Secondary school age children will join in the main sessions for a portion of the worship, then have youth work sessions during the main talks and workshops.

We will have a crèche set up for children under 4, near to the main session. Parents will need to stay with their children, but we will have worship and teaching available through a PA system for those in crèche to listen into.
