Future Countryside 2025 will take place on Tuesday, 20 May 2025 and we are extremely grateful to the Chatsworth House Trust for hosting us.

Future Countryside will celebrate the countryside as a vibrant, inclusive rural landscape that benefits everyone. The event will focus on future possibilities rather than past challenges, it will explore how the countryside matters for the economy, communities, culture and environmental well-being. By uniting diverse voices - farmers, environmentalists, entrepreneurs, and policymakers - the conference will foster collaboration and generate actionable insights for rural development. It will emphasise the countryside's relevance in addressing global challenges like climate change, food security, and equitable growth.

Future Countryside brings together a unique coalition of interests and inspires a shared commitment to creating a sustainable, resilient countryside that is a cornerstone of national progress and belongs to everyone. 51 organisations and individuals have signed the Future Countryside declaration and the 2025 conference will build on that commitment.

Chatsworth is easily accessible by car and public transport, with regular direct buses to the house from mainline stations.
