The Social Collective: Oct 2026

The Social Collective

Good conversations | Local connections | Familiar faces + new ones

The Social Collective is a relaxed evening bringing together the people behind HD8's businesses, community groups and creative projects.

It's not about sales pitches or awkward networking, it's about putting faces to names, hearing local stories and making connections that last long after the evening itself.

Some people come looking for collaborators, some come for fresh ideas, others simply want to spend an evening with people who understand the joys and challenges of running a business, leading a community project or building something from scratch.

Each Social Collective includes:

• A welcome drink on arrival
• A short conversation with a local guest speaker
• Time to chat, share ideas and get to know people

You never know who you'll meet, but chances are you'll leave knowing a few more faces than when you arrived.

When? Tuesday 6 October 2026 | Arrive from 6.30pm for a 7pm start (finish at 9pm)

Where? The George, 114 Denby Lane, Upper Denby HD8 8UE

How much? (Yorkshire war cry!) £10pp + booking fee and include a welcome drink (non-alcoholic alternative available)

Come on your own, bring a friend or turn up with colleagues. We'd love to see you there.
