Mission & Events Trailer

The Diocese now has a display trailer to use to support the Church’s mission at public events and out in the community. The newly refurbished trailer is an Arizona Exhibition Trailer – with internal dimensions of 3.6 metres and external length including tow-bar of 5 metres approx. The trailer opens out with its own display material on the hinged wing panels and includes a lift canopy. It is equipped with electric hook-up, an LCD projector and loud speaker system.

There is also a limited amount of cupboard storage inside and folding chairs and a table are also supplied, as well as steps into the trailer.

This resource is a grass roots support to parishes and deaneries engaged in public space events in their communities. It provides a ready-made hub for activities and a focal point for advice and information. The trailer is used regularly as the worship and prayer focus for Calverton Car Boot church and has also been used at Newark Show as the diocesan trade stand. It is a versatile facility which can be adapted to a range of uses from a platform for worship or refreshment point to a stage for activities or an information and prayer station.

During the coming months as the diocese pilots its use, the trailer is available free of charge, although donations towards costs, including transport to events, are gratefully received. Diocesan Lay minister, Paul Howard, is overseeing the use of the trailer and will tow it to events. Paul is also able to offer advice about setting up events in the community and offer support as far as possible.

The trailer is available on a first come first served basis and booking enquiries can be made via email or phone.
