🌍 The TXTWRK Annual 2026 Event: Feedback (30k) → Unity 2027 (250k)
The Idea
TXTWRK Annual is our new yearly public event, connecting the work we're building through
TXTWRK.com, TheUKparty.com and www.Derby.support.
It starts with
TXTWRK Annual 2026: Feedback at Pride Park, Derby — a major public event with a
30,000-person ambition.
Then comes
TXTWRK Annual 2027: Unity — our
2–3 day, 250,000-person ambition, connecting communities across Britain.
2026 listens. 2027 brings it together.

🏟️ Why Derby, and Why Now?
We're already working directly with people through community activity and workshops, including our presence at
Derby College.
That means we need to provide a meaningful
next step.
What happens after somebody attends a workshop, learns a skill or develops an idea?
Education → Skills → Ideas → Connections → Opportunities → Startups → Communities
Students can meet employers. Builders can meet designers. Startups can meet leaders. Innovators can meet the people who could use their ideas. Communities can meet decision-makers.
Pride Park is where we begin bringing those connections together.

💬 2026: Feedback
Feedback isn't simply a questionnaire.
It's about understanding what people need, recognising what's already happening and helping people take their next step.
We want to bring together:
•🎓 Education, skills, careers and apprenticeships
•🚀 Startups, businesses and new opportunities
•🏘️ Housing, construction and better design & living standards
•🌱 Sustainability and practical innovation
•💡 Technology, products and new ideas
•🇬🇧 Politics and greater public participation
•🤝 Communities and organisations
•🎤 New voices, projects and sustainable events
Builders, landscapers, designers, manufacturers, educators, students, startups, businesses, communities and leaders all have something to contribute.
Bring the idea. Show the prototype. Teach something. Learn something. Get feedback. Meet someone who can help take it further.

🔗 Three Parts of the Same Journey
TXTWRK Annual is where those connections become physical.
Everyone should have a route to the stage — whether that's speaking, teaching, demonstrating a product, exhibiting a business, running a workshop or presenting an idea for the first time.

🤝 2027: Unity
250,000 people. 2–3 days. Communities across Britain.
Feedback gives us something essential before attempting an event at this scale:
Knowledge.
What worked? What's missing? What do people need? Which organisations want to participate? Which innovations deserve support? What should we build next?
That gives us the period between the two Annuals to
build partnerships, support startups, develop new events, improve our tools, connect more communities and explore suitable UK locations for Unity.
And the 250,000 ambition isn't about creating
250,000 spectators.
It's about creating
250,000 opportunities to participate.

🌍 The Bigger Picture
💬 TXTWRK Annual 2026: Feedback
🏟️ Pride Park, Derby
🎯 30,000 ambition
Listen. Connect. Learn. Start.
🤝 TXTWRK Annual 2027: Unity
🇬🇧 Communities across Britain
🎯 250,000 people
📅 2–3 days
Participate. Connect. Build.
TXTWRK Annual completes the circle between the
free tools we're developing, workshops we're delivering, communities we're connecting and opportunities we want people to create next.
2026 bridges the gap.
2027 brings it together.
And success won't simply be measured by how many people attend — but by
how many people take their next step because they did.
It’s a big challenge, but one worth pursuing whilst Andy Burnham champions our time for change and people seek real political changes.
