Civil Service Live dates and locations
Civil Service Live is a great opportunity for us to celebrate the excellent work of civil servants across the UK and around the world who are delivering brilliant public service supporting citizens each and every day. It’s our chance to share our stories of how we all serve with purpose and pride.
Our flagship events will take place in Edinburgh and London this year, with registration opening in April 2026.
Alongside these, our regional roadshow events will run from Autumn 2026 through to Spring 2027. Registration for each regional event will open six weeks in advance and will be promoted through Civil Service News. If you’d like to be notified as soon as registration opens for your local event, you can sign up for Civil Service Live alerts.
The regional roadshow events are smaller in scale and have been broken down into morning and afternoon tickets to ensure more civil servants can attend. Below you will see what each location has to offer. We encourage colleagues to attend their nearest regional event where possible to help reduce travel costs.
