In 2011 Festival Angels started life as a Prayer Tent at Leeds Festival with twelve volunteers from the church community in Thorner (the village next to Bramham Park where Leeds Festival happens). In year two the name changed from Prayer Tent to Festival Angels and the volunteer team and hours of operating the Prayer Cafe increased. By year three, 2013, we had expanded the operations with the running of the Lost Property and detached teams, similar to Street Angels, who wander across the festival site.
The team at Leeds Festival has continued to grow and because Festival Angels works so well other Festivals have approached us over the years asking for us to replicate Festival Angels at different festivals. Over the years we have had Festival Angels at various festivals including: BBC Radio 1 Big Weekend, Big Church Day Out, various Belfast Festivals, Boardmasters, Creamfields, Eastern Electrics, Edinburgh Festival, Kendal Calling, Looe Music Festival, Mint, Montrose Festival, Royal Ascot, Tunes in the Dunes, Upton-on-Severn town festivals, YNot, Wildfires and smaller local festivals who use the Festival Angels model.
We have also connected with and supported other festivals including: Bloodstock Order of the Black Sheep Welfare; Download Chaplaincy; Festival Internacional de Benicàssim (Spain) detached teams; Latitude Festival Pastors Cafe; Leeds - Salvation Army Coffee Van; Reading - Street Pastors at Reading Festival; Rize - God Tent.
