3Generate will be back at the NEC in Birmingham from 2-4 October. This page will give you all the information you need to plan your visit, buy tickets, and prepare your group for an incredible weekend!

Limited late tickets are now available. Email the team to enquire.

Invoicing

We are currently processing invoices for all ticket orders, and these will be sent out to Group Coordinators as soon as possible. Any tickets booked have been reserved for you and your group.

What's New?

3Generate is always growing and changing, and this year is no different! At 3Generate 26, you'll find:

• Bigger, and more, collective worship across all 3 days, and accessible options for watching and taking part
• More space for camping and the 3Gen town, so there's more room to relax and explore.
• An Adventure Book for all children and young people in attendance, so they can keep track of their discipleship journey across the year
• Re-imagined venues like the Geek Hub, the new and updated version of the Tech Hub
• Mini-adventure tasks on Saturday to encourage discipleship development and discovering all the 3Gen town has to offer

We have also streamlined our IT systems, meaning your experience buying tickets and sharing participant information will be much easier!

Keep an eye on this page, our social media and other communications for more info and what's new at 3Generate 26!

Important Information regarding tickets

For 3Generate 2026, and for the first time since moving to the NEC, we have made the difficult decision to increase our ticket prices to £130 for weekend tickets, and £70 for day tickets. We understand this may impact the ability of some members of groups to attend, but we feel this is necessary to keep 3Generate a thriving event that serves the children and young people of The Methodist Church in Britain.

Please get in touch with your Districts if your group requires financial support to attend 3Generate 2026.
