The Forge Gathering

BRF Resources

The Forge Gathering is Parenting for Faith’s annual residential gathering, for anyone who wants to put parents and carers front and centre, to help children and teenagers grow a deep and rooted faith that lasts.

We have streams for children’s, youth and families’ leaders (both paid and voluntary), and also for church leaders.

The Forge Gathering 2026 takes place from 10th – 12th November, at Cloverley Hall, Shropshire, SY13 4PH.
