welcome to lovelocalnetworking
We run lovelocalnetworking evening events in different venues every couple of months. Please see below for upcoming lovelocal events and our Pendle Connects events too. Our evenings are friendly and informal, perfect for new or experienced networkers and all are welcome as we’re not single sector. Most of our events run from 5-7pm on Tuesday evenings. Tickets are £10 to include refreshments and a light supper, as well as a donation to our charities Nightsafe & PAC.
Our Pendle Connects are quarterly breakfast events which run in conjunction with Pendle Council and are free of charge including refreshments. Click the subscribe tab to receive our bumper monthly newsletter with links to events and business support to help businesses of all sizes!

Events are supported by the team at NORI HR & Employment Law. You can meet our wonderful lovelocal charities Nightsafe & Positive Action for the Community at our lovelocalnetworking events too. Events are run at cost to help bring local businesses together, £2 of the £10 fee goes to our charities.
