Anthropy Returns to Eden Project in Cornwall Sparks National Dialogue as Charity Marks 25th Anniversary
The eden project will host Anthropy from 25–27 March 2026, with organisers saying the fourth annual national gathering will bring more than 2, 000 decision‑makers, visionaries and role models together in Cornwall during the charity’s 25th anniversary month.
Eden Project Hosts Anthropy During 25th Anniversary Month
Anthropy returns to the site where it was founded as the Eden Project marks a quarter century of work as an educational charity. The gathering, running across three days, is presented as a focal moment for leaders from across sectors to step back from day‑to‑day pressures and focus on long‑term thinking about social and environmental challenges.
Scale Of The Event And Who Will Attend
Organisers expect more than 2, 000 delegates on site for over 200 sessions and more than 600 speakers across 15 live stages. The programme represents more than 900 organisations and combines keynote speeches, workshops and panel discussions with informal opportunities for networking in and around the site’s iconic Biomes.
Prominent public figures and senior decision‑makers are listed among participants, and leaders from a range of private, public and third‑sector organisations will be present. The breadth of attendance is intended to encourage cross‑sector dialogue and idea exchange that organisers say will extend beyond the three days.
Programme Focus, Eden Leadership And Featured Speakers
The agenda is framed around future‑focused thinking and practical change. Eden’s own experts will play active roles across the three days, delivering sessions on themes including place‑based regeneration, community‑powered change and nature‑based learning.
Senior figures from the Eden team are scheduled to lead discussions: the organisation’s co‑founder and senior leaders are named as contributors to sessions exploring regeneration and environmental education. The programme also highlights participation from well‑known public figures and leaders drawn from business, culture and civil society, and notes a mix of established and emerging voices.
Why This Moment Matters
Organisers characterise the reunion of Anthropy and the Eden site as especially significant because it coincides with the charity’s 25th anniversary month. Leaders involved emphasise the event’s capacity to seed conversations that can grow into practical projects and policy initiatives around the United Kingdom.
Andy Jasper, CEO of the Eden Project, said the gathering captures attention across the nation and creates conversations that inspire action long after the event concludes. The Eden Project’s connection to Anthropy is described as a deep alignment of purpose: both aim to inspire connection, responsibility and positive change.
Looking Ahead
The gathering is scheduled to take place from 25–27 March 2026 and is presented as a chance for delegates to test ideas, form partnerships and imagine long‑term solutions. With a large programme and a diverse roster of contributors, organisers position Anthropy at the Eden Project as a catalytic moment in the charity’s 25th anniversary year, intended to influence thinking and practice across sectors beyond Cornwall.
