What does a typical day look like at Sligo for Under 18s?
Under 5s
No one is too young to join the fun at New Wine! Each morning, our Under-5s will embark on an exciting adventure to discover more about who Jesus is and to experience His love. With age-appropriate sensory play, dress-up, arts and crafts, action songs, and stories, there’s plenty of joy and laughter waiting for them!
The Under-5s programme runs alongside the two morning sessions and includes songs, story time, crafts, toys, snack time, and everything else to keep your little ones happy and engaged all morning. The rooms are a colourful oasis of fun, filled with fantastic toys, bean bags, bright decorations, and even indoor slides!
For parents with younger children, you are more than welcome to bring them to the evening celebration in the arena. Alternatively, upstairs, in the arena, offers live audio and video of the celebration—making it an ideal spot to stay connected while keeping little ones comfortable. It’s also a convenient space if your child just wants some room to play.

5-10s
The 5–10s programmes are packed with fun and faith! Kids enjoy silly games, lively worship, videos, creative prayer, crafts, cookery, drama, Bible stories, and much more—giving everyone the chance to encounter Jesus while having a blast.
Our first morning session brings everyone together for a focused Bible time. We explore a story from the Bible, learn a memory verse, and get energised with messy games and exciting challenges to kickstart the day.
In the second morning session, we break into age groups for games, crafts, and more Bible learning tailored to each group.
Evenings are extra special with big theme nights filled with fun activities, plus one of our leaders sharing a take-home message to inspire and encourage kids before they go.
While you enjoy the main sessions, your little ones can join in the fun too! These sessions run alongside the arena event in the morning & evening, and also morning seminars, so everyone’s having a great time!

Youth
We understand that it can be challenging for teenagers to get excited about attending an event, especially when they don’t know many people there. But we also know how inspired and engaged they become when they experience something designed just for them—meeting them where they are.
This programme will be fun, interactive, and full of energy. Our goal is to create a space where young people can encounter God, grow deeper in their relationship with Him, and learn how to live that out in everyday life—transforming the culture around them to reflect Jesus. With amazing speakers, an incredible worship band, and a brilliant team of leaders ready to hang out with the coolest teens in Sligo, it’s going to be an experience you won’t want to miss.
Running alongside the arena events and morning seminars. During the Afternoons and evenings they will also have access to the Youth Hangout - a space to play PS5 , board games, Table tennis and more!
