There are 14 CCT churches taking part across England, including in Essex, Norfolk, Lancashire and Somerset. Visitors pay between £49 and £59 per adult per night to sleep in campbeds surrounded by monuments, gravestones, stained glass windows, an altar and all the usual fixtures of a consecrated Church of England church. They also come with their own wildlife – some of the churches have bats.
Regardless of the building’s size, only one group stays at any one time and guests are given the key to the church. “They’re great value for money – even a little country church, when there’s two of you in it, it’s a massive space,” says Thomas, 51, who has been champing twice.
