The Wild Summit 2026

From ambition to action: The Wild Summit returns on 9 September.

The Wild Summit will return to the Bristol Beacon this year with a clear purpose: to turn ambition into action for nature’s recovery.

Last year’s Summit brought together more than 1,250 people, representing over 500 organisations from across the UK. Campaigners, policymakers, scientists, community organisers, businesses and creatives came together to rally around the urgent goal of halting nature’s decline by 2030.

Time is running out for nature, so we must present a bold, united voice for change. We plan to set out an ambitious set of shared priorities for policymakers to reverse wildlife decline and secure a healthier natural environment for everyone.

We are very grateful to everyone that buys a ticket, makes a donation, and to the funders who make all of this possible.
