Why Join Us?
Have you noticed that traditional networking events often miss out on the dynamic minds from theatres, festival organisers, music venues, art studios, culinary hotspots, and tourist attractions etc.?
Our events are different. We bring together professionals from across the tourism, hospitality, and arts sectors, creating a vibrant space where you can connect, collaborate, and grow - minus the formal pitches and stuffy suits!
Relaxed Atmosphere: Network organically in a welcoming environment.
Exclusive Experiences: Each event is hosted at a unique Suffolk attraction.
Inspiring Speakers: Hear from industry leaders while enjoying a cuppa. Our speakers will be:
Emma Lightfoot - Orwell Lady
Carl Scott - Woodfarm Barns & Barges
Justine de Mierre - So... What's The Story?
Let’s come together to celebrate and strengthen Suffolk’s incredible creative and tourism community.
Who Am I?
I'm Clare, a passionate Suffolk-based business owner with over 10 years of experience in the travel industry. I've created this network because I saw a gap - a need for a space where professionals in tourism, hospitality, and the arts could connect, support one another, and collaborate on new ideas.
Join me on this journey to showcase the best of Suffolk’s creative and tourism sectors, one unique venue at a time.

Important Info:
Orwell Quay is the area after Neptune Marina and the university, between CoffeeLink and Cult Cafe and before you reach the white tented building of Aurora.
If you enter the waterfront at DanceEast, keep the water on your right and walk all the way around towards the grey and white building ahead of you (past Issacs and the Question Mark sculpture). You will see a large blue sign on the quay.
There is car parking adjacent to the berth in the RCP Car Park. This is accessed via University Lane, which is off Duke Street, and there are several disabled parking bays. Please note this car park is cashless but accepts credit and debit cards or Ringgo, a payment parking service, which you can download on your smart phone. If you do not have a smart phone you can also register and book parking in advance with RingGo online. Blue badge parking is available on University Avenue, just by the car park in Duke Street.
There are also other car parks within short walking distance.
On occasion, the trip may finish slightly later than the time advertised due to factors beyond our control. Therefore we recommend you do not make plans for immediately after your trip and please allow enough time on your parking ticket.
