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 afternoon 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 and exchange ideas.

Whether you're just starting out or have been in business for years, spend a summer afternoon with a creative community who understands that collaboration is stronger than competition.

We know that balancing business and family life can be a challenge. So, 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

• Creative activities for all ages

• A chance to hear about fully-funded support for your business as part of the Creative Exchange Accelerator Programme.

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.

Eligibility Criteria:

• Greater Manchester-based businesses operating in the creative sector.

As this workshop is fully-funded, businesses are subject to funders' eligibility criteria. If your place is confirmed, you will receive an email from us with further details.
