A relaxed morning of networking, conversation, coffee, food and fresh thinking before Christmas.

Join us at Kingston Country Courtyard for our very first networking event , a relaxed morning of good conversation, new connections, refreshments and fresh thinking as we head towards the end of the year.

December is a great time to pause, catch up with people you've worked with throughout the year, meet some new faces and take a moment to think about what's next.

So we're inviting the local business community to Refresh, Reset & Reconnect.

What to expect

Tea, coffee & something a little different

Forget the usual networking breakfast and bacon baps!

We'll have tea, coffee and a selection of refreshments, including something savoury and options to cater for different dietary requirements. Should you have any please email courtney.lilley@kingstoncountrycourtyard to ensure you are catered for.

Relaxed business networking

This isn't about awkward elevator pitches or being put on the spot.

It's simply an opportunity to meet other local businesses, make new connections, catch up with familiar faces and have some good conversations.

Guest speaker

We'll also be joined by a guest speaker for a short session designed to give you something to think about as you reflect on 2026 and look ahead to 2027.

Speaker to be announced , confirmation coming soon.

Reflect. Reset. Reconnect.

As the year comes to a close, we'll create some space to think about the year you've had, what you've learnt, what you want to leave behind and what you're looking forward to in 2027.

Come and see Kingston for yourself

This is particularly special for us as it's our first networking event at Kingston.

We're opening the doors and inviting local businesses to come along, experience the space for themselves and see what Kingston could offer for their own meetings and events in 2027.

Whether you're looking for somewhere to host a team meeting, training session, workshop, networking event or something a little different, it's a chance to have a look around, ask questions and get a feel for the venue , without the pressure of a formal venue visit or sales appointment.

Who is it for?

The event is open to local:

Business owners and entrepreneurs

Freelancers and consultants

Professionals and managers

Local organisations and teams

Anyone looking to expand their business network

Anyone who simply enjoys meeting interesting people and having good conversations

Whether you're a regular networker or this is your first networking event, you're very welcome.

Come and meet some new people. Take a moment to reflect. Get inspired for the year ahead. And see what Kingston could do for your next event. Guest's are more than welcome to stay after the event and utalise our facilities for the day, the perfect remote working space.

Come for the coffee. Stay for the conversations. Leave with some fresh connections and fresh thinking for 2027.
