📸 The Gathering 2026

The Gathering is our favourite day of the year. Are you joining us? We’d love to see all your pictures: the queue for coffee, Rebecca Davis mid-joke, the view from the auditorium, your notes scrawled on the programme… they don’t need to be good, they just need to be yours. Whatever’s caught your eye, post it here :backhand_index_pointing_down:
