Creatives Summer Social

Running a creative business can sometimes feel like you're doing it all on your own, but it doesn't have to.

Join us for our Creatives Summer Social, a relaxed session designed to bring together local creatives, freelancers, makers, artists, and business owners to connect, chat, and build meaningful relationships in a welcoming, informal setting.

This isn't about sales pitches or formal networking. It's about creating space to meet people who understand the journey, share experiences, celebrate wins, exchange ideas, and support one another.

Whether you're just starting out, have been in business for years, or are simply looking to find your creative community, you'll be made to feel at home.

Families are warmly welcome. We know that balancing business and family life can be a challenge. This event is designed for both adults and little ones to get creative and be inspired.

What you can expect:

• A relaxed, friendly atmosphere

• Meaningful conversations with fellow creative entrepreneurs

• Opportunities to build genuine connections and future collaborations

• Craft activities

• A supportive community where everyone is welcome

What will attendees take away from the Event?
Networking and experience of meeting new and like minded businesses and tangible connections.

Whether you're hoping to meet new people, find inspiration, or simply enjoy a few hours in good company, we'd love to see you there!

* Young guests (under 18) may be attending this event, accompanied by an older adult. We appreciate your co-operation in keeping the atmosphere respectful, safe and enjoyable for all.
