Soho Summit returns for 2026
Enjoy masterclasses, workshops, talks from Salman Rushdie and Pamela Anderson, and more at our festival of ideas, powered by Porsche. Book your bedroom now
2026 marks the fourth year of Soho Summit, our annual festival of ideas. Each year, the event reinforces our belief that creativity, community, and passion have the power to drive forward real cultural change – a sentiment that has rarely felt quite so pertinent. So, we’re excited to announce that Soho Summit will be returning to Soho Farmhouse from Wednesday 22 April to Friday 24 April.
With bedroom packages now available to book, you can secure your stay at our Oxfordshire outpost for the duration of the summit. Based on two people sharing and depending on the room type, packages start from £1,800. That includes access to our special dinners, performances, and afterparty, plus priority booking for talks, workshops, and masterclasses.
Explore all bedroom packages and book yours here.
Across the two-day affair, we’ll be welcoming high-profile creative minds from the worlds of design, art, TV, film, and music to explore this year’s theme: ‘when creative worlds collide’. Our extended programme of talks, hands-on workshops, masterclasses, and screenings will examine and celebrate the ways in which unlikely connections can ignite true originality, and how unorthodox thinking often plays a role in what it means to be a creative trailblazer.
Once again, we’re partnering with Porsche to bring the summit to our members. After all, Ferry Porsche, the car brand’s founder, was a creative pioneer – and his passion and vision changed the automotive world forever. Alongside activations around the festival, Porsche will be giving guests the opportunity to test drive an all-electric Macan for themselves.
Scroll on to discover the full schedule – events will be available to book from Sunday 22 March, so start planning now. This year, Every House members have 48 hours of priority access to bedroom and event bookings.

Actress, activist, writer, and businesswoman: few names in popular culture draw fascination quite like Pamela Anderson. With a career spanning more than three decades, Anderson’s recent acting turns in The Last Showgirl and The Naked Gun have garnered widespread critical acclaim.

Building on this ethos, Anderson and her sons, Dylan and Brandon Lee, co-founded vegan, cruelty-free skincare brand Sonsie. Aligned with her philosophy of ‘less is more’, Sonsie aims to redefine beauty norms by encouraging self-acceptance and holistic skin care that celebrates individuality and wellbeing. Join us for this talk with one of Hollywood’s most enigmatic stars.

Panel discussion: how to design in a world of change, with Porsche and Kelly Hoppen, hosted by AJ Odudu
11.30am to 12.15pm
Finding the courage to keep moving forward when everything feels in flux isn’t easy. But innovating through change, discovering the ‘new’, and designing something truly special is what creates true trailblazers. Take the Porsche Cayenne, launched 20 years ago. Across two decades, the team at Porsche has continually evolved the model, constantly staying ahead of the curve. In 2026, that evolution arrives as the all-new electric Cayenne – a first-class luxury car designed for our ever-changing world. In this inspiring conversation, hosted by TV presenter AJ Odudu, a member of the Porsche team will join renowned interior designer Kelly Hoppen to explore the power of design and delve into what the future holds.
In Conversation: Nia DaCosta with Jack O’Connell
12.30pm to 1pm
Did you know that in the 97-year history of the Academy Awards, only three Best Director winners have been female? Or that in 2025, fewer than one in five of the 250 top-grossing films were helmed by a female director? It’s safe to say that being a female director in an overwhelmingly male-dominated field remains challenging today – as our speaker Nia DaCosta knows well. The director of Hedda and 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple will sit down with actor (and 28 Years Later star) Jack O’Connell, for an honest discussion on finding her feet as a woman in the industry, honing her craft as a writer and director, their recent project together, and more.

This conversation with Soho House Chief Art Director Kate Bryan will take us from his career beginnings as a cartoonist at The Spectator to his work with Nelson Mandela on the ‘Unity Series’ project – and, of course, his literary phenomenon.

2.15pm to 3pm
Star of stage and screen, Hannah Waddingham’s career has spanned almost three decades – and seen her turn her hand to everything from West End theatre and cinematic starring roles opposite Tom Cruise and Ryan Gosling, to hosting Eurovision. But for many it was Apple TV+ comedy Ted Lasso that made her a household name and one of the most booked and busiest actors working today. Ahead of the show’s hugely anticipated return this summer, Waddingham will sit down with Clara Amfo to discuss the show’s runaway success, and chart her remarkable career to date.

3.15pm to 4pm
From football superstar to one of the world’s most recognisable sports pundits, Gary Lineker has been a mainstay on our TVs for more than 40 years.

Never afraid to speak his mind and stand up for what he believes in, expect Lineker’s conversation with fellow The Rest Is Football co-host Alex Aljoe to be full of sharp industry insights, candid reflections on his career, and the straight-talking honesty he’s known for.
In Conversation: Taika Waititi
4.15pm to 5pm
Few filmmakers working today are able to balance the high and the low quite like Taika Waititi.

Waititi joins us to discuss his unconventional creative approach, the importance of following his artistic instincts, and his journey from indie comedies to Marvel mega-success.

Workshop: making fermentation simple with Tim Spector
12pm to 1.30pm
For many years, gut health was something sidelined to the pages of obscure wellness publications. These days, as we begin to fully understand the power of good gut health for our mind and body, it’s part of mainstream health conversations. In large part, that’s thanks to the work of Tim Spector, author of Food for Life: The New Science of Eating Well and co-founder of health platform Zoe. In this workshop, Spector will go back to basics on the health-enhancing powers of fermentation – one of the easiest ways to boost gut health – before guiding members through creating their very own kimchi or sauerkraut to take home with them, along with a signed copy of Spector’s book, Ferment.
Workshop: the power of punk collaging with Julie Verhoeven
2pm to 3.30pm
There has rarely been a better time to embrace the essence of punk: a DIY-inspired ethic driven by anti-establishment attitudes, authenticity, and non-conformity. Artist and designer Julie Verhoeven is no stranger to all things punk: she began her career as an assistant to John Galliano, and these days creates art work that is cheeky and subversive. In this hands-on workshop, Verhoeven will use the medium of collage to inspire attendees to channel their most rebellious selves by cutting, tearing, and assembling found images and materials to create something wholly new and unique.

In Conversation: Salman Rushdie and Rachel Eliza Griffiths with Amol Rajan

In 2022, Rushdie was the victim of an on-stage knife attack which left him with life-changing injuries, and which he wrote about in his autobiography Knife: Meditations After an Attempted Murder. At Soho Summit, Rushdie will be joined by his wife, photographer, poet and novelist, Rachel Eliza Griffiths, whose recent memoir The Flower Bearers deals with issues of guilt, love, and grief after the loss of her best friend on her wedding day.
