Summer Gathering 2026

Earth First Sum­mer Gath­er­ing 2026
12th- 17th August, Peak Dis­trict
Near­est Train Sta­tion: Sheffield

Hear ye, Hear ye!! You are invit­ed to five days of cross-move­ment pol­li­na­tion and sol­i­dar­i­ty in the form of work­shops, skill shares, crafts, games and polit­i­cal edu­ca­tion. These gath­er­ings are a space for those who believe in the lib­er­a­tion of all life to put our heads togeth­er and dream new worlds into being. Come along and learn about past envi­ron­men­tal strug­gles and move­ment vic­to­ries, bio­cen­trism, green anar­chy, cur­rent direct action and social jus­tice cam­paigns, and let’s fig­ure out how we can tear the cap­i­tal­ist sys­tem a new one.

Beau­ti­ful sur­round­ings, kid’s space, live music and late-night jams, deli­cious veg­an scran, and much more, all with­in a stones throw of Sheffield! Bring ya hik­ing boots and your danc­ing shoes, it’s gonna be glo­ri­ous!

More info includ­ing about acces­si­bil­i­ty and trans­port, well­be­ing and covid will be shared here near­er the time. No need to sign up, just turn up and bring ya mates. If you need to get in touch, if you have a pro­pos­al or have any Qs you can email earthfirst.uk@proton.me

We don’t rely on algo­rithms or adverts to get the word out about these gath­er­ings, we rely on you shar­ing this with your com­rades and net­works xxa black and white poster depicting a fire breathing eel burning down industry, their body is adorned with symbols of direct action including spray cans, chains and tools.

Poster for Summer 2026 — share it far!

the poster is black and white and depicts a fanged eel on a starry sky background who is breathing fire onto an industrial looking building atop a boggy landscape. the eel is decorated with icons of tools including spray paint, chains, Allen keys, hammers and colt butters. The text on the poster reads: earth first! summer gathering, 12th-17th august 2026, location TBA, email: earthfirst.uk@proton.me, website: www.earthfirst.uk

Hel­lo EF!ers, check out the poster for the upcom­ing sum­mer gath­er­ing, isn’t it cool! Have you ever seen a fire-breath­ing eel before?!

To grow the move­ment, and reach as many peo­ple as pos­si­ble, we rely on our real world rela­tion­ships to get the word out about the gath­er­ings. We don’t rely on social media and its gov­ern­ing algo­rithms. We don’t rent ad space.

If you have access to a print­er, please print and dis­trib­ute the fly­er in the spaces where your com­mu­ni­ty gath­ers — your squat, co-op, food­bank, com­mu­ni­ty cen­tre, youth club, your local Job Cen­tre Plus or HSBC branch(?), maybe you can take some fly­ers to a demo or invite your read­ing group?

Save the date: EF! Summer Gathering 2026 will be 12th-17th August!

Greet­ings all,

The 2026 Earth First! sum­mer gath­er­ing will be from Wednes­day 12th — Mon­day 17th August! Woohoo

Save the date, and let your mates know. We don’t have a region in mind yet, but will announce more info when we can. If you have any site sug­ges­tions, feel free to get in touch at earthfirstuk@proton.me (you can no longer reach us at earthfirstuk@riseup.net!)

In the mean­time, we hope to see you at the region­al win­ter moots which are being organ­ised around the coun­try as we speak. As dates and loca­tions are con­firmed we’ll post them in the web­site, but at a min­i­mum there will def­i­nite­ly be a moot, some­where, on the 6–8th Feb­ru­ary 2026.
