A relaxed meet-up for Sunderland high street businesses to connect, share challenges, and support each other.
About this Event

Running a high street business isn’t always easy, and sometimes, it can feel a little lonely. That’s why we’ve created Shop Talk: a friendly get-together where Sunderland and Washington retailers and service businesses can come together, share experiences, and support one another.

This is your space to:
1. Chat openly about the challenges (and wins!) of being on the high street
2. Connect with other like-minded business owners
3. Build a stronger community of support and collaboration

No pitches, no pressure, just real conversations with people who get it.

Date: Monday, 27th April 2026
