Around ten years ago, we packed up cars full of food, camping chairs, marshmallows and some of our favourite people and headed to Tyn-y-Nant for what became known as AndyFest — a weekend celebrating Andy turning 40.
What we didn’t fully realise at the time was that the memories made there would stay with us for years.
We laughed around campfires, walked to the beach, shared meals, worshipped together, played games, stayed up too late talking, and simply enjoyed being together.
Now somehow… we are all a decade older 😅
And this time, we’re bringing Macy into the celebrations as she turns 18.
So welcome to...MAndyFest! A bit of a pilgrimage back to the same place.
Some of you were there the first time. Some of you are newer friends who have quickly become lifelong people. Some friendships span decades. Some are beautifully fresh.
And honestly — we are beyond grateful for every single one of you.
Looking back with grateful hearts at the beautiful things God has done
Laying down the hard things from the last season
Deepening friendships and making new ones
Laughing loudly
Reflecting quietly
Worshipping together
Eating good food
Sandy toes on beaches
Singing around campfires
Making memories together
Thank you for coming and being part of this moment with us.
We genuinely can’t wait ❤️
