Preston Freelancer Meet-Up: May

21 May 2026 - 21 May 2026

Society1, Coworking Space, Preston, PR13LT

10:00 - 12:00

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.

There are two ticket options:

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

Ideal if you just want to attend just the meet-up. Listen to our guest speaker and meet a few other freelancers.

2) Freelancer Meet-Up and Society1 Coworking Day Ticket : £18

This ticket includes both the meet-up and a day of coworking at Society1. It provides the opportunity to stay on after the meet-up and join us at Society1 for the rest of the day. Bring your laptop, grab a desk and work with us for the afternoon. Tickets includes the freelancer meet-up and an afternoon of coworking 10am - 5pm. Tea, Coffee and biscuits are included in your afternoon work pass.
