The 2027 event returns to Knebworth Park on 8 July, with an early registration offer intended to help in-house teams bring more colleagues.

The Recruitment Events Co. has opened registration for RecFest UK 2027, with first-wave tickets currently free for eligible in-house talent acquisition professionals.

The event will take place at Knebworth Park, Hertfordshire, on 8 July 2027. The first registration wave closes on Friday 11 December 2026, with a second wave due to open in the new year.

Making room for more of the team

The organiser says its earlier launch is intended to give teams more time to coordinate workloads and plan attendance. Removing the ticket cost during the first wave also reduces the need to allocate a limited ticket budget between colleagues.

“Well the rationale is simple: give as much of the in-house TA community as possible the opportunity to be there!”

Jamie Leonard, founder and CEO, The Recruitment Events Co.

RecFest brings together in-house talent acquisition professionals for practical sessions, conversations with peers and opportunities to explore recruitment technology in an outdoor festival setting.

For TA leaders planning development budgets, the offer is a chance to consider team attendance early. Travel, time away from work and any other associated costs still need to be considered; the announcement relates to the event ticket.

Details and eligibility are available on the RecFest UK website.
