When and where is Climb26 taking place?

Climb26 will take place on 1–2 July 2026 in Leeds, United Kingdom. The festival runs across two full days and will once again be hosted in the Leeds Dock area, centred around the Royal Armouries Museum and nearby venues.

This is the same location used for Climb25, chosen deliberately for its scale, accessibility, and ability to support a true festival‑style experience rather than a single‑room conference. Leeds Dock allows Climb26 to operate across multiple interconnected spaces, creating room for stages, workshops, roundtables, exhibitions, and informal networking to happen in parallel.

Attendees can expect a walkable, self‑contained environment where conversations move easily between sessions, meetings, and social spaces. The area combines indoor venues with outdoor dockside spaces, contributing to the open, energetic atmosphere that ClimbUK is known for.

Leeds itself plays an important role in the event. As one of the UK’s fastest‑growing business hubs outside London, it provides both the infrastructure and the context for a national growth festival that reflects the reality of building businesses across the UK - not just in the capital.

Full venue maps, session locations, and logistics details will be published closer to the event and made available through the ClimbUK event app, allowing attendees to plan their time and movement across the festival with ease.
