Keswick: inside the Convention’s ‘Tardis-style’ new centre

It might sound like a cliché, but on this occasion it happens to be true.

Stepping inside the Keswick Convention’s Derwent Project really is like entering Doctor Who’s Tardis. Not only does it appear to be much bigger on the inside than it looks from the outside, but it is big – in fact, enormous. Indeed, the space seems to go on and on and on… To paraphrase the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, if you thought it was a long way to the local shops, think again…

No wonder the Convention’s Head of Operations, Simon Overend, has a face which seems to crinkle perpetually into a broad and infectious smile. He greets a small deputation from Evangelicals Now with warmth and generosity of time, despite being hugely busy in the run-up to this year’s Virtual Keswick Convention online.
