Our Top Tips
We know that bringing kids to a big event can feel daunting so we’ve put together a few practical tips to help give you peace of mind.
Tip #1
Big Church is a busy and exciting place to be. Take a photo of your child at the start of each day, so you have a clear image of what they’re wearing should you need to describe them.
Tip #2
Write your phone number on the inside of your child’s wristband, and keep your phone charged and connected to the free site Wi-Fi.
Tip #3
Speak to any member of our team if you get separated from your child. Everyone is briefed and ready to help reunite families quickly and calmly.
Tip #4
Set a meeting point for older children in case you get separated. Somewhere like the Info Point on the Avenue makes a great landmark.
