Working on a side hustle, freelancing, or thinking about starting something? Come along to a relaxed evening at Bricks & Brews, Whitley Bay, to meet other people doing the same and get practical with AI. **Free. Drop-ins welcome.** **What happens on the night** **Meet other builders.** We're giving more of the evening to networking this time. Find out what everyone's working on, swap ideas, get honest feedback and meet people worth staying in touch with. **A short talk.** Practical ways to use free AI tools to save time, find customers and get things done, plus a 5-day challenge to help you get your idea moving. **Build something.** Bring a laptop if you have one and get hands-on help with your next step, whether that's a landing page, a social post or a simple automation. **Who it's for** Side-hustlers, freelancers, makers and small business owners, whether you're just starting out or already up and running. No coding or AI experience needed. Coming on your own is absolutely fine. Food and drinks are available to buy from Bricks & Brews. Buying anything is entirely optional. **Thursday 3 December 2026, 6:45–8:30pm** **Bricks & Brews Cafe, 201–203 Whitley Road, Whitley Bay, NE26 2SY** Free, and drop-ins welcome. RSVP on Meetup if you can, so we know roughly how many to expect.
