Thursday 21st May 2026 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM
Society1 Coworking Space
An informal meet-up for local freelancers with a coffee hour, guest speaker, and coworking day at Society1.
Preston Freelancer MeetUp and Coworking Day
This is a regular meet up for freelancers, home workers, solopreneurs and alike. It is a really friendly and welcoming group aimed to provide the opportunity to meet and connect with other likeminded people working in a similar way.
Do you feel like you want to meet some other freelancers?
Do you find working from home can feel make you feel isolated?
Are you new to freelancing and would like to talk to others with experience?
Are you looking to work with other freelancers and would like to connect with the local community?
These are all good reasons to come and join us.
Our meet-up starts at 10am with informal conversations over a drink and pastries. It will provide an opportunity to meet other people with similar experiences. We will have a guest introductions spot, again super relaxed where our guest will introduce themselves and tell us a bit about what they do. There are no round the room intros and you don't have to present yourself.
This months speaker is Mik Connor. Mik is a former touring and recording drummer turned music and commercial portrait photographer. He is going to share his experience going freelance and opening his own studio, plus his new project The Strand Corner Camera Club.

1) Freelancer Meet-Up Coffee Hour - 10am-12pm : £8.50
