All set for the last Pop Along of 2026!

Our final Pop Along of the year is here, and we're closing out 2026 in style at the heart of Sunderland.

Join us on Tuesday 29th September for a relaxed morning of networking, and one with extra meaning this time round, as it falls on World Heart Day.

We'll begin at the brand new Culture House from 9am–10:30am, a bright, buzzing space perfect for settling in with a coffee and catching up with familiar faces, as well as making some new connections.

At 10:30am, we'll head round the corner to Keel Tavern, a firm favourite for its warm atmosphere and easy-going charm, to carry the conversations further over a drink. 🍻

As always, the format stays simple: two venues, one relaxed morning, and plenty of genuine discussion in between. Whether you're a Pop Along regular or joining us for the first time, you'll be made to feel right at home.

Given the date, we're especially proud to be supporting Red Sky Foundation, the Sunderland-based charity funding life-saving cardiac care and equipment for babies, children, and adults across the North East. As with all our Pop Alongs, we'll be running our charity raffle on the day, with all proceeds going towards their vital work. ❤️

As it’s our last Pop Along before the new year, this one's not to be missed. Places are limited and these events regularly sell out, so grab your spot early.

North East Network is brought to you by Team Valley Group. ⚡️
