Annual Meetings

We’re delighted to announce that the 2026 General Assembly Annual Meetings will be held at the Hayes Conference Centre in Derbyshire. We heard your feedback and know that the last venue didn’t quite meet our needs. This time, we’re gathering at the Hayes, a not-for-profit Christian centre with plenty of natural light and beautiful gardens. It is a much better fit for coming together as a movement.

The General Assembly Annual Meetings bring together delegates from across the Unitarian movement for three days of debate, discussion, community and connection. Whether this is your first time or you’ve been coming for years, you’ll have the chance to shape the direction of our movement, celebrate our shared values, and build relationships across congregations and regions.

Emergency motions

Something urgent has come up since the deadline? You can still submit an emergency motion if it’s about an issue of public concern that has arisen since the closure date for ordinary motions. These follow the same process but are submitted as early as possible, either before or during the Annual Meetings. The meeting will need to vote to admit it to the agenda (a two-thirds majority is required).
