Pastoral Care

Detling is a time for worship, teaching and relaxation but we recognise that there will be those who arrive with their own personal concerns or worries, such as relationship issues, illness or bereavement. Your local church may be able to help but Detling are able to offer an additional opportunity to talk and pray in confidence.

Prayer Ministry

Detling offers the opportunity after most celebrations for visitors to pray, receive ministry or just talk through any issues they may have with trained volunteers.

For information on how to volunteer for the Detling Summer Celebration, please visit our Volunteers section.

Special Needs

Our special needs team at Detling are able to assist people of any age to participate in the event.

All venues are wheelchair accessible, with disabled parking and toilets available nearby. A hearing aid loop is installed and sign language is provided in the main venue.Additional requirements for seminars may also be arranged directly with the Signing team, subject to availability. Large print songbooks are also available for event worship.

If you are disabled or require special needs assistance at Detling, please register using the appropriate Registration Form when booking.

Situated in an ideal location on top of the North Downs with excellent transport links, the Kent County Showground is primarily an agricultural site, but we do our best to provide appropriate facilities for our guests.

Showers, toilet facilities and electrical hook-ups for caravans are provided to make your stay with us as comfortable as possible. Booking prices are fully inclusive of a pitch allocation, however there is an additional charge for electrical hook-up provision.

Alternative accomodation is available locally to the showground. For a comprehensive list, please visit the Maidstone Tourism Office website.

A shop with basic provisions such as milk, bread, tinned food, drinks, sweets and newspapers is provided on site throughout the conference. Alternatively, there are local supermarkets situated nearby easily accessible from the showground.

On-site dining facilities are also provided offering a wide range of breakfast, lunch and dinner choices as well as fast food available throughout the day.
