The best networking meetup in Chichester

“last friday club”

  • 🌟 What's The Last Friday Club All About?

    Are you tired of the same old, business card thrusting, suit-wearing, networking events? Well, circle the last Friday of your calendar because that's when we meet up—for FREE, and always will be! Whether we're at Rume2, the go-to co-working spot, or taking a scenic walk around the City walls, we make networking relaxed and enjoyable. (*August and December meet-ups only)

    Who Lit This Fire? 🚀

    In 2016, Debbie Ford of The Chichester Social and Emily Perry of Emily Perry Coaching teamed up to disrupt the usual business network monotony. Fast-forward to today, and we've got a crowd of 40+ rockstars at our monthly gatherings!

    Who's This Great For? 👀

    Freelancers & Consultants: If you're a service provider, designer, marketer, or techie, come mingle!

    Business Owners & Solo Entrepreneurs: If you run a business in town, whether it's a pop-up shop or an online empire, you'll fit right in.

    The Vibe? More Chill, Less Frill 😎

    Say goodbye to stiff handshakes and awkward small talk. Here, you'll make genuine connections and leave with renewed energy and enthusiasm for your business.

    Oh, the Collabs You'll See! 🤝

    Our community is a melting pot of talent. You'll see some surprising yet brilliant team-ups—like a singing tutor and a brand strategist joining forces. Plus, our members often step up as speakers, sharing their unique wisdom that we can all benefit from.

    🎉 Did We Mention It's Always FREE?

    Attendance at our monthly meet-ups will always be absolutely free —zero, zilch, nada!

  • Many of our Last Friday Club folks are already a part of the Rume2 community. But if you are new to them, here’s more about how they align and are our perfect venue host partners:

    Rume2 is a contemporary workspace in the heart of Chichester. Rume2work, grow, innovate, network, learn, think and share. Founded by two successful local entrepreneurs, Rosie Freshwater and Lucy Legg-Wills.

    They have a variety of co-working and workspace options, including:

    🔖 "Hourly Pay As You Go" (£10pm)

    Pop in or stay for the day, a completely flexible way to suite your needs. Have a look at their website for all membership options — and follow them on Instagram (and everywhere else!).

  • As you know, our meetups are always free (and always will be) – that's our promise to you. But even the best things in life, have some costs. With over 40 amazing people joining us each month, that’s a lot of sweet treats, coffee and tea to keep the energy and conversation flowing!

    Big shoutout to RUME2 for being superstars and hosting us, brewing up 12 litres of glorious, locally roasted coffee from HOST COFFEE ☕️ each time.

    Now, here's a nifty idea: how about becoming our Sweet Treats or Coffee Hero of the Month? For just a tenner, you can sponsor one of our meetups. And what do you get? Loads of love and shoutouts for your business on our socials, WhatsApp broadcast channel and beyond.

    Feeling the buzz? 🐝 Just grab an e-gift card for £10, add a note to indicate if you're sponsoring coffee or sweet treats, and zip it over to lastfridayclub@thechichestersocial.com.

    And just like that, you get the warm fuzzies, knowing you’re brewing up something special for our EPIC business community.
