BPA Psychodrama and Sociodrama Conference 2026 - British Psychodrama Association

We are delighted to introduce you to the theme of the British Psychodrama Association‘s Conference of Psychodrama and Sociodrama 2026 as

Wellspring: Re-sourcing Ourselves and Our Collective.

Our gathering begins with a Pre-Conference Training Offer on Wednesday, 29 July & Thursday, 30 July. We are so fortunate that Louise Lipman from New York will facilitate a Two Day Training on Sociometry, an essential method of both Psychodrama and Sociodrama.

The Main Conference will take place from 31st July to 2nd August 2026 (from Friday 12 noon until 1:45 pm Sunday) at The Old Swan Inn, in the Historic Spa Town of Harrogate, England, a renowned place of healing and renewal for over 400 years.

PRE-CONFERENCE TRAINING & MAIN CONFERENCE

2+3 days, 30 workshops offered by 35 presenters from 13 countries, and plenty of time to connect.

Our Annual Conference is becoming increasingly international.

Therefore, using data from the World Bank group, we ask that those from low and lower-middle income countries contact us directly at conference@psychodrama.org.uk to find a way for you to join us.
