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 xx

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.
