Join Us at the Wokingham Night Time Economy Conference!

Wokingham Borough Council is pleased to invite you to attend the Wokingham Night Time Economy Conference 2026, which will take place on Tuesday 6 October 2026 at Wokingham Town Hall.

The conference will bring together local hospitality businesses, licensed premises, community safety partners and public sector organisations to explore how we can work together to create a safe, inclusive and vibrant night-time economy for Wokingham.

The event will focus on the importance of a thriving evening economy, the challenges currently facing the hospitality sector, and the value of partnership working between businesses, Thames Valley Police, Wokingham Borough Council and other key stakeholders. Topics will include creating safer environments, supporting vulnerable people, strengthening local Pubwatch initiatives, promoting inclusivity, and enhancing Wokingham's reputation as a welcoming destination for residents and visitors.

We appreciate that your business may have operational commitments and therefore hope that you, or a member of your team, will be able to join us and contribute to the discussion. Your insights and experience are invaluable in helping shape future initiatives and ensuring that local businesses have a strong voice in conversations about the future of Wokingham's night-time economy.

Registration and networking will begin at 9.00am, with the main conference programme running from 10.00am until 12.00pm.

Breakfast rolls, tea and coffee will be available during the networking session prior to the start of the conference. Please email warwick.heskins@wokingham.gov.uk with any dietary or accessibility requirements.

We look forward to welcoming you and working together to support a safer, more inclusive and more successful night-time economy in Wokingham.
