What happens at FRESH Live?

Your ticket gives you the full FRESH Live experience, including:

A proper two-course lunch

Enjoy a delicious two-course lunch at Hotel Voco Leicester, with drinks and refreshments included throughout the afternoon.

It's a chance to sit down, eat well and have conversations with the people around you - rather than rushing through another lunchtime meeting.

Plenty of time to network

There's no need to spend the afternoon standing around trying to work out who to talk to.

FRESH Live gives you plenty of time to move around, meet different people, catch up with familiar faces and have those conversations that can lead to new opportunities.

You'll meet a real mix of businesses and professionals, so every event brings something different.

Business spotlights

Throughout the afternoon, you'll get the chance to hear more about the businesses and people in the room, discover what they do and find out what they're working on.

It's a simple way to learn more about the people you're meeting and give others a chance to learn a little more about you and your business too.

And don't worry - you don't need to prepare a pitch or stand up in front of everyone. It's all about having conversations, sharing what you do and getting to know the people around you.

The FRESH music quiz

And, of course, there's the FRESH music quiz.

Expect a bit of friendly competition, plenty of music and a few laughs along the way.

It's a fun part of the afternoon and a great excuse to get involved, chat with people around you and see who knows their music!

Why come to FRESH?

There are plenty of networking events in Leicester, but FRESH Live is about giving you a proper afternoon out - with the networking naturally built into it.

Come along to:

Meet new people

Build relationships with businesses and professionals you may not normally come across.

Find new opportunities

Meet potential customers, suppliers, collaborators and useful contacts from a wide range of industries.

Raise awareness of your business

Get involved in business spotlights, introduce yourself and let people know what you do.

Catch up with familiar faces

FRESH is a growing community, so you'll often see people you've met before as well as plenty of new faces.

Enjoy a great afternoon

Good food, drinks, music, conversation and a bit of friendly competition - all away from the usual working day.

Never been to FRESH before?

That's absolutely fine.

People come to FRESH Live on their own, with colleagues, or with other people from their network.

You don't need to know anyone before you arrive and you don't need to be a regular at Leicester business networking events.

Just come along, grab a drink, get some lunch and start meeting people.

The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed, making it a great option whether you're completely new to networking or already attend events regularly.

Part of the wider FRESH community

FRESH Live is part of the wider FRESHnetworking community, connecting more than 1,600 businesses and professionals through regular events throughout the year.

Alongside our monthly FRESH Live lunches, we also run additional networking and social events at different venues - giving you more opportunities to meet people and get involved.

You don't need to be a FRESH member to attend FRESH Live.

Come along, experience the event and see what you think.
