Today’s Media, the publishers behind Today’s Wills and Probate and The British Wills and Probate Awards, is bringing the beats and the briefs together for the first-ever TWP Festival – a one-day extravaganza of insight, innovation, and industry connections.
Set against the scenic backdrop of Mythe Barn & Sheepy Meadow, Atherstone on 25th June 2025, this event is where compliance meets culture, risk takes centre stage, and the future of legal services plays out like an all-time festival classic.
But every festival needs a headline act, and this one is no exception. Taking top billing on the main stage is the Law Commission’s Wills Act – the hotly anticipated legal reform set to bring the 1837 legislation into the 21st century. Dropping its release in April, the Law Commission will use TWP Festival as its stage for an exclusive deep dive into its proposals, giving attendees an inside track on what to expect.
