Meet Up – April 2026

Join The Fold for an evening of community, conversation, and connection.

This meet-up is all about the women in the room — building meaningful relationships, sharing ideas, and supporting each other. Whether it’s through round table discussions, small group chats, or casual networking, you’ll leave with new connections, insights, and inspiration.

Expect a welcoming, friendly space where you can:

• Meet like-minded self-employed women, freelancers, and side-hustlers

• Share challenges, wins, and ideas openly

• Learn from the experiences of others

• Build a supportive network that lasts beyond the evening

Bring your questions, your ideas, or just yourself — and leave with new friends, collaborators, and accountability partners.

Evening at a glance:

• 7:00pm – Arrive, grab a drink, settle in

• 7:15pm – Icebreaker/introductions.

• 7:30-8:45pm  – Discussions, chat, mingle, and make real connections

• 8:45-9:00pm – Wrap up.

(Times and structure will be flexible to suit the room.)

This isn’t just a "networking" event — it’s a space to be seen, heard, and supported by women who get what it’s like to run your own business.

Join us for an evening of good vibes, meaningful connections, and community.

The Fold is a collaborative community for self-employed and freelance women in Leeds. 

It's a ready-made support system. A roomful of women in your corner, cheering you on (and picking you up when you fall). Down-to-earth chat about real business and real life and everything in between.

No awkward small talk. No feeling weird about “competitors”. No secret handshakes. And definitely no breakfast meetings.
