Fringe events are a welcome enhancement of the Conference, offering representatives and members of the public opportunities to share information and ideas, explore topics of special interest and celebrate together. They are not a part of the formal proceedings of the Conference but are hosted by a variety of organisations within and outside the Methodist Church.
Fringe Events Timetable
Events planned so far are listed below, with links to an event description and information on how to book. Note that you will need to book in advance for some events. These pages will be updated as further details are confirmed, so keep a look out for updates and changes nearer the time.
Applications to hold a fringe event at the 2024 Methodist Conference are now closed.
If you have made an application, but did not download a copy of the Information for fringe event organisers, or the Acceptance Policy for fringe events, which explains eligibility criteria and the process by which fringe events are selected, you can find these below.
