The Flame Congress is back! It will be held at OVO Arena Wembley on Saturday 4 March 2023 and you are invited!

Cardinal Vincent Nichols preaching during Adoration
Premier Radio DJs leading the warm-up hour
Youth Director Claire Bailey says: “It costs just £24 for ‘earlybird’ tickets (before 30 October) and the BCYS has secured 300 of these – of which over 200 have already been allocated to parishes and schools, following previous mailings. Now is the time to reserve your tickets as we can expand our allocation if needed, but can only do this with firm bookings. Tickets are allocated first come, first served, so the earlier you confirm, the better the seats we can arrange. It is much better to book with the BCYS rather than direct with Flame as Bishop Alan will sit with the BCYS block, and we’ll also be able to help build Diocesan identity as people from across the Diocese mix and mingle. ”
