Future Countryside 2026 will be held on Tuesday 2 June 2026 at Raby Castle, County Durham. It comes at a moment of both peril and potential for rural Britain: balancing its potential to be a dynamic, inclusive space at the heart of national life with the challenges it faces. Rather than looking back, the event will spotlight future opportunities and innovations. It will explore the countryside’s vital role in driving the economy, strengthening communities, enriching culture and safeguarding the environment. By bringing together farmers, environmental leaders, entrepreneurs and policymakers, the conference will champion collaboration and highlight how the countryside is central to tackling global challenges such as climate change, food security and fair, sustainable growth.

Now in its fourth year, Future Countryside has become the go-to forum for bringing together diverse voices to shape the future of rural Britain. Uniting a unique coalition of organisations and individuals, it drives a shared commitment to a sustainable, resilient countryside that is a cornerstone of national progress and belongs to everyone.
