Weekenders and Events

Weekenders bring our community together in real life for a few brilliant days of ideas, activities, creativity and good company.

They’re a chance for young people aged 11–18 to spend time with other curious, thoughtful and interesting people, try some of their favourite classes in person, discover completely new things, and have plenty of time to relax, play games, explore, talk, laugh and make friends.

Our regular Weekenders run from Friday to Sunday, while our Summer Residential stretches the experience across five days. Expect thought-provoking courses, creative challenges, outdoor space, evening activities, shared meals, campfires and the occasional surprise.

Have a look at our upcoming events below and come and see what happens when GIFTers get together in person.
