What happens at The Pulse?
Each event is different; it is usually based in Durham Cathedral but not always. The purpose is for youth groups to come together in larger numbers than their weekly meetings, to have fun, to explore faith in a variety of different ways and to worship God together.
With Durham Cathedral providing an inspirational venue, Pulse gatherings have included inspirational speakers, young people leading worship and prayer activities and a local Gospel choir. Themes have included the Climate Emergency, the Persecuted Church, Prayer and human trafficking. Activities have included a silent disco, escape rooms, a magician, a juggler and even a gladiator night!
On the road, Pulse has included memorable pilgrimages to Holy Island, as well as the Archdeaconry Games at Brancepeth Castle, featuring egg and spoon races among other fun activities with a focus on worship.
Next Pulse event
The next Pulse youth event is planned for Sunday 2nd March 2025 at 6.30pm at Durham Cathedral. The Pulse will not be taking place in October 2024. Further details to follow.
