A walk for founders, freelancers, business owners and anyone who fancies meeting some good people in Sheffield.

Networking can be a bit awkward.

Standing around in a room. Name badges. Small talk. Trying to work out when you're supposed to tell someone what you do.

So we're doing something simpler.

We're going for a walk.

The Sheffield Walk Club is a relaxed netwalking event for founders, freelancers, business owners, creatives, independents and anyone else who'd like to meet more people in and around Sheffield.

There are no presentations, no forced introductions and no expectation that you turn up with a sales pitch.

Just a group of people walking, chatting and seeing who they get along with.

Come on your own or bring someone with you. Talk about work, ideas, things you're building, problems you're trying to solve, or absolutely nothing business-related at all.

How it works

We'll meet at Endcliffe Park Carpark, head out for an easy walk of around 60 - 90 minutes, calling at Forge Dam Cafe then head back to Endcliffe Park.

The pace will be conversational rather than competitive, so you definitely don't need to be a serious walker.

This will be a monthly walk on the last Thursday of every month. That way people will have things to talk about since they last met.

Who it's for

Founders, freelancers, creatives, business owners, people starting something, people thinking about starting something, and generally anyone who wants to meet more interesting people locally.

No hard selling.

No awkward networking exercises.

Just a walk and some good company.
