A Christian holiday club in the summer holidays. Lighthouse began in Great Missenden and Prestwood in 1987. There are now 16 Lighthouses - Beaconsfield, Burnham, Cressex, Denham, Great Missenden, Haddenham, Hazlemere, High Wycombe, Loudwater, Mansfield, Marlow, Princes Risborough, Safe Harbour, Shelswell, Water Eaton and of course, Derby City!
At the start and finish of the day everyone is together for worship, teaching, drama, competitions, etc. In between children have a programme of games, performing arts and craft, plus sessions to explore the day's theme.
the planned dates for 2025 are Monday 18th to Friday 22nd August 2025
Lighthouse Derby City is held at the Wyndham Spencer Academy, Wyndham Street, Alvaston Derby DE24 0EP
10.00 am- 3.00 pm
Lighthouse is run by volunteers. Children are in year-groups, which are broken down into smaller Lighthouse groups. Each Lighthouse has a Lighthouse Keeper (leader) and Lamplighters (assistants). Specialist teams help with craft, performing arts and games. We take up references for all helpers and DBS checks for all roles eligible for checks.
Year groups are based on a child's age on 31 August. If you ask in advance, it may be possible for a child to join a younger age group to be with a friend or sibling.
We welcome applications for children with special needs. We will do all we can to accommodate such applications but in order to ensure the appropriate support is in place it is essential that you tell us well in advance if your child has additional help at school or has an Education Health Care Plan (EHCP).
To run Lighthouse Derby Central costs £50 for each child. (which we think is fabulous value!).
Although we do not charge a set amount for children to attend, (as we do not want to deny any child a place) we do rely upon your donations and those of local churches, businesses and other generous benefactors so Lighthouse can continue each year. Details of how you can support Lighthouse Denham will be sent with tickets and you can look at our donations page.DONATE
We want to provide a great experience for your child. Please support us. Every donation, great or small, makes a difference. Thank you!
