What's on during the Year
Throughout the year, HIC run various events, courses and activities across a range of themes, and catering to all ages and stages of life. The below are some of our annual events, but do keep a look out for the occasional one-off event we may be running.
International Cafe
Periodically runs through the year
The cafe has a relaxed atmosphere designed to help you make English speaking friends and practise your English through conversations, activities, a short talk from the Bible and discussion.
​
Each evening there is an opportunity to meet, chat and make friends over a cup of tea or coffee. Highgate International Cafe is informal, friendly and free, and everyone is welcome.
*Only open in term-time when running.
Discipleship Explored
Periodically runs through the year
​Discipleship Explored goes beyond simply teaching the right moves - go to church, pray, read the Bible, share the gospel - and focuses on the music which drives discipleship: the love of Christ. The greatest love anyone can ever know.

It’s an eight-session journey through Paul’s letter to the Philippians and is ideal for believers at any stage of the Christian life. Completely free and you’re welcome to ask any questions you like, or just sit and listen.
