Musical Theatre Network and Mercury Musical Developments have announced that the next UK Musical Theatre Conference will take place on Wednesday 15 April 2026 at Soho Theatre Walthamstow in London.
The UK Musical Theatre Conference is the nation’s leading event examining the musical theatre sector and art form. It offers a rare opportunity for creators and industry professionals to gather for discussion, debate, and networking.
The 2026 conference will be held at Soho Theatre Walthamstow, a major new 960-seat venue that opened in May 2025. The beloved 1930s art deco building has been beautifully restored by Waltham Forest Council in partnership with Soho Theatre.
The previous conference in 2024 at the Royal Court sold out, attracting the largest attendance to date. Speakers included Nica Burns OBE, SpitLip (creators of Operation Mincemeat), Nancy Medina, David Byrne, Ameena Hamid, David Brownlee, Anoushka Lucas, DJ Walde, Janie Dee and Jon Gilchrist.
Tickets for the 2026 UK Musical Theatre Conference will go on sale in January, with further details to be announced soon.
