LocalGov Drupal Camp 2026
LocalGov Drupal Camp 2026 was held on 11th and 12th June in the city of Sheffield in the north of England. I drove over the Pennines from my home in Cheshire to attend the camp for the two days.
LocalGov Drupal, in case you weren't aware, is a Drupal distribution that is set up in a way that makes it easy for councils to publish their content. Since it's built on Drupal the sites can also make use of the many Drupal modules available. There are also lots of additional LocalGov Drupal modules that integrate with waste collection systems, bus timetables, election results, and many more.
Last year, LocalGov Drupal was being used by 57 council websites across the UK. This year, that figure has jumped to 73! A fantastic achievement, with that number only set to get bigger.
The camp itself consisted of a Wednesday night social night, a day of talks and other sessions, followed by a day of workshops and sprints.
Wednesday NightThe social on Wednesday night was held at the National Videogame Museum in Sheffield city centre. On entry we got a couple of free drinks, and there was plenty of pizza to go around (perhaps too much pizza!).
This was amazing venue to have a social! After spending a while catching up and chatting with lots people we went into the museum itself and played some games for a while. 4 player Pacman and Ultimate Chicken Horse were particular favourites from the evening.
