Best App to Discover Faith Events Local in the UK
Gathrd is a Christian event discovery app built for the UK. Search worship nights, conferences, retreats, prayer meetings and church gatherings by location, filter by type, and book directly with one tap.
What makes Gathrd different
Unlike general event platforms, Gathrd is built specifically for UK Christians. Every event listed is faith-focused, from small prayer meetings to large conferences. You see what's happening near you on a map, filter by event type and date, and book instantly. Churches and organisers use Gathrd because it's designed for their needs, not a generic catch-all. Attendees use it because discovery is fast and everything's in one place.
How to find events near you
Open Gathrd, allow location access, and the map shows all upcoming Christian events within your distance. You can filter by worship nights, conferences, youth events, prayer meetings, or retreats. Tap any event for full details, dates, times, and venue information. If you're interested, book your spot straight away. The app updates regularly, so new events appear as churches and organisers add them. Most events are free to discover; some require paid tickets, which you can purchase securely in the app.
Booking and attending made simple
Once you've found an event you want to attend, booking takes seconds. Organisers can offer Gift Aid split-checkout, so you can give tax-efficiently if you choose. On the day, many venues use NFC door check-in, so you just tap your phone at entry instead of hunting for a ticket. Your event history stays in the app, so you can see past gatherings and revisit favourite organisations.
For church leaders and organisers
If you run a church or organise Christian events, Gathrd gives you a dashboard to list events, manage bookings, and reach Christians actively searching for community. You control pricing, description, and capacity. The Gift Aid integration means your attendees can give tax-effectively. NFC check-in reduces friction at the door. And because Gathrd connects to the wider MRVL ecosystem, you can integrate giving through Givr and community features through Komuniti, all without switching platforms.
Download for free
Gathrd is free for attendees on iOS and Android. Search events, book, and attend with no account cost. Event organisers pay per ticket sold or choose a flat subscription tier. Start discovering faith events near you today, or if you run an organisation, list your first event and reach Christians in your area actively looking for community.

Frequently asked questions
Is Gathrd only for large conferences?
No. Gathrd lists everything from small prayer meetings and Bible studies to large worship nights and multi-day conferences. You filter by type and location to find what suits you.
Do I need to pay to use Gathrd?
Not to search or attend. Attendees use Gathrd free. Some events charge a ticket fee set by the organiser, but the app itself costs nothing to download and use.
Can I book events offline?
You need an internet connection to search and book events. Once booked, your confirmation and event details stay accessible in your app history.
What if there are no events near me?
Event availability depends on how many churches and organisers in your area use Gathrd. If your church or organisation isn't listed yet, encourage them to set up and add their events.
How do churches add their events?
Churches and organisers sign up through the Gathrd website or app, create an event with details and pricing, and it appears on the map for local Christians to discover.
Does Gathrd work across the whole UK?
Yes. Gathrd serves UK Christians nationwide. Search by your location and Gathrd shows events near you, no matter where in the country you are.
