Political Weekend 2026

Tickets are now on sale for Progress Political Weekend 2026 — and if you’re a young activist looking to sharpen your skills and expand your network, this is a weekend you won’t want to miss!

Join us in Birmingham from Saturday 11 July to 12 July 2026for two days designed not just to debate politics, but to equip the next generation of campaigners and leaders with the tools they need to succeed in Westminster.

This year’s programme will feature a series of unique, hands-on workshops built specifically for young activists. From campaigning and communications to organising, strategy, and leadership, these sessions are practical, interactive, and led by people who’ve done it for real. You’ll leave with new skills, fresh confidence, and ideas you can put straight into action — whether on your university campus, in your CLP, or in future campaigns.

To make the weekend as accessible as possible, we’ll be offering a limited number of steeply discounted tickets for young activists. These places are capped and always oversubscribed, so we strongly encourage early applications using the form below.

New for 2026, members can also join us for a Saturday night gala dinner — a perfect opportunity to hear from leading Labour figures, swap stories with fellow activists, and build the relationships that last long after the weekend ends. You don’t need to attend the full conference to be part of the conversation.

Spaces are limited and the skills, connections, and confidence you’ll gain are invaluable.

We'll see you in Birmingham!
