We’re delighted to invite you to Wikimedia UK’s Online Community Celebration, taking place on Saturday 15 November, from 11am to 1pm.

This online gathering will celebrate the achievements of our incredible community over the past year, recognise outstanding contributions through the Wikimedian of the Year Awards, and showcase inspiring actvities from across the UK through a series of lightning talks.

Over the past month, we’ve reached out to community members for talk proposals, and we’re thrilled with the lineup we now have! So much remarkable work happens behind the scenes in our movement, and this event is a chance to shine a light on those efforts and celebrate them together.

Following the lightning talks, we’ll present the annual Wikimedian of the Year Awards. You can find out more about the awards here https://wikimedia.org.uk/2025/10/wikimedian-of-the-year-awards-call-for-nominations/. Nominations are open until 22 October.

This celebration is open to everyone, both Wikimedia UK members and anyone interested in learning more about Wikimedia’s work in the UK and getting involved.

Tickets are free, the event will be held on Zoom, and you can reserve your tickets now through Eventbrite. https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/online-wikimedia-uk-2025-community-celebration-tickets-1775880058059?aff=oddtdtcreator&_gl=1%2Ap0azzm%2A_up%2AMQ..%2A_ga%2ANDA4MzAyNzQ0LjE3NTk3NDk4NTQ.%2A_ga_TQVES5V6SH%2AczE3NTk3NDk4NTMkbzEkZzAkdDE3NTk3NDk4NTMkajYwJGwwJGgw#search
