Polyday began in 2004 and was held nearly annually until its cancellation in 2020 and 2021 on account of the [COVID-19 pandemic](/source/COVID-19_pandemic) before it was placed on indefinite hiatus in 2022. The event consisted of workshops and discussions during the day and social events in the evening. In 2012 it became associated with the international event, Poly Party Weekend. In 2016, Polyday became an unincorporated charitable association. In 2022, Polyday was indefinitely cancelled and there have been no subsequent events since the last one held in 2019. The content of each Polyday differed slightly each year. Features that were consistent included a basic introduction to polyamory, useful literature, people to chat to, arts/crafts and cake. Other sessions such as activism, poly parenting, relationship styles and mental/sexual health have been offered. The convention was open to anyone, regardless of relationship status, provided they were open and accepting of other attendees. Strict rules applied to photography and members of the press who wish to attend, so as to protect the privacy of other attendees. Polyday 2022 was scheduled to be held on 15 October 2022, at Resource for London in London. But, due to reported threats against speakers and controversy stemming from a committee member's close relationship with Franklin Veaux, Polyday was cancelled indefinitely. The organizers, who had been managing the event since 2015, stated in the cancellation statement that they are seeking a new team to carry on managing the event.[1] ## Past events The first Polyday, in 2004, was held at the Leicester LGB Centre. Following this, every other event happened in London, since 2006 – except for the 2010 event, held in Bristol. Polyday 2020 and 2021 were cancelled due to the novel [coronavirus pandemic](/source/Coronavirus_pandemic) and Polyday 2022 was cancelled along with an indefinite pause on the event since.
