The BIG NIGHT OUT 2015 - see what it's all about.

Almost 2000 young people aged 11-16 and their leaders from across the North of England descended upon Lightwater Valley theme park near Ripon on Saturday for The Big Night Out 2015.

After an afternoon of enjoying the rides and a massive picnic together, the evening culminated in a fantastic high-energy open-air concert with the Christian rock band Cenacle (main picture) who also shared a little about their faith in Jesus Christ and how God had touched their lives.

Now in its 6th year this has become the largest annual Christian youth event in the North made possible by a working partnership between the Dioceses of York with West Yorkshire & the Dales, Urban Saints, Scripture Union, The Girls Brigade and The Boys Brigade.

One attraction of the event is that churches with large groups, or those with only a few teenagers, can join in and bring friends to a large gathering that affirms the Christian faith.

Theme park rides and Christian rock bands may not be to everybody’s taste, but there was no shortage of takers enjoying the fun and fellowship at Saturday's Big Night Out.
