Booking for this event is now closed
For 2016 we will be returning to the lovely Nell Bank Centre in Ilkley, Yorkshire, which has hosted two previous convergences, the last in 2008. A lot has changed since then but expect great food, great facilities and a beautiful woodland setting.
We're extremely excited about the return of the UK Permaculture Convergence this coming Autumn. A year on from the incredible International Permaculture Convergence, this event is a chance to continue on from the new energy and direction we all got from the event, bringing together old faces and new from across the spectrum of our amazing movement.
Expect a diverse range of workshops, practical sessions, project case studies, Diploma presentations, networking, exhibitions, guided walks and tours, games, creative activities and lots, lots more!
Many details are still to be confirmed for this year's event but we'll keep this page updated as soon as we can announce more.

FOOD AND DRINK
The ticket price includes 6 delicious meals provided by a caterer specialising in local, organic and seasonal foods. You will be asked about Dietary Requirements when booking your tickets. We recognise food is a very important part of both Permaculture and these events thus we aim to ensure that meals are all of an excellent quality with generous portion sizes!
A bar and cafe will also be operating onsite through the weekend to provide beverages and snacks in between meal times and in the evenings.
CHILDREN
Children between 5-15 years must have a ticket bought for them. This ticket includes 6 children meals through the event and access to the childrens workshops. 0-4 year olds are free but must be registered when booking. Children of this age can take part in mealtimes as needed. Unfortunately, due to safety reasons, we cannot provide dorm beds for children of any age, thus those with children must use camping facilities if staying onsite.
