Join us each month for our networking events, where local businesses, freelancers, creatives and community leaders come together in a warm, welcoming setting. These gatherings are relaxed and informal, giving everyone the chance to share ideas, spark collaboration and build meaningful connections.
Each month features a guest speaker from within our community, someone bringing fresh insights, practical tips or an inspiring story that reflects the creativity, resilience and innovation of our region.
Our networking events are more than just a chance to meet new people. They’re the first step in shaping our future Business Hub, which will launch alongside our new hot-desking and co-working facilities. By taking part now, you’ll help us create a supportive ecosystem of collaboration and opportunity that will continue to grow as our hub opens.
