About this Event

Looking for real connections, not just business cards?

Ipswich Brunch is a face-to-face networking event for local business owners who prefer conversation over pitches and people over pressure. It’s friendly, informal, and inclusive. A space where genuine relationships lead to real opportunities.

We meet every fortnight on Fridays at 10:00 AM, at The Oyster Reach in Ipswich. It's a welcoming venue with great brunch options, including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free. There’s ample parking and easy access from the A14, A12, and Ipswich town centre.

Visitors are always welcome. There are no cliques, no hard sells, and no expectations. Just business owners showing up to support each other.

Come along. You might leave with a lead, a partner, or a fresh idea. But you'll definitely leave with a smile.

Ipswich Brunch. Come for the coffee. Stay for the conversation.

4Networking has been running face-to-face and online networking events across the UK since 2006.

We're a membership organisation that is 50% social, 50% business; offering a wide choice of in-person and online networking events. Non-members are welcome to visit and try us out at any time. There's no lock-out or category restrictions: we actively encourage collaboration over competition.

As our members will tell you, 4N really does work, and the more involved you get, the more it will work for you. With 4N you don't join a specific group: you join the network and a community that's committed to helping members succeed. Members can access all our meetings - face-to-face and online - choosing what works best for them based on time, theme, style or format.
