The Great Get Together is the UK’s annual celebration of everything that connects our communities, inspired by Jo Cox’s belief that we have more in common than that which divides us.
This year’s Great Get Together will take place on 19-21 June 2026 and will mark 10 years since Jo was killed.
Many of us remember how, in the days that followed Jo’s murder, people responded not with fear, but with something Jo believed in deeply: connection. Neighbours came together. Differences were set aside. Communities chose unity over division.
This anniversary is not just about remembrance. It is a moment of choice. Holding a Great Get Together in your local area is a simple but powerful way to honour Jo’s legacy and show what community really means.

While we celebrate our diversity, what surprises me time and time again as I travel around the constituency is that we are far more united and have far more in common than that which divides us.

Discover the story of the Great Get Together
Since its first year in 2017, the Great Get Together has taken place every June, with hundreds of community events happening across the UK on the weekend closest to Jo’s birthday.
In 2026, as we mark 10 years since Jo was killed, we reflect on a devastating moment that shocked the nation – but also sparked a moment for connection. That legacy lives on through the Great Get Together, a nationwide celebration that brings people together across divides.
