  Only six weeks to go now until SoCraTes UK 2026! We’re very excited, and we’re now on a final push to sell as many tickets as possible. We’re a community not-for-profit event, and every sale makes a huge difference to us. So we really appreciate every individual who joins us, as well as anything people can do to help publicise the event.
