Business Buzz Watford networking sessions are an excellent way to mingle face-to-face with other local businesses in a free-flowing, fun atmosphere. Designed to work with your schedule, there’s no such thing as late with this two-hour drop-in session. Turn up whenever you like before the event closes at 12 noon and stay for 5 minutes or the full two hours. With no membership and no strings attached, it’s never been easier to meet your local business community. For just £10+ VAT you’ll get refreshments, a brilliant new set of contacts and the warmest of welcomes. With new people every month and a huge buzz in the room you’re sure to make some great connections; we believe the more you chat, the more business just happens. We meet every 1st Thursday of the month between 10 am and 12 pm at the same venue. While you can book on the day, we ask that you purchase your ticket before you set off on your journey. This makes it much easier to check you in and get you to the coffee as soon as possible! How it works When you come to a Buzz you’ll be welcomed by the Buzz team, shown where the coffee is and introduced to some of the other attendees. We’re here if you need further introductions to more guests, but you’ll find that everyone is really friendly and you can easily move around conversations to network as you like. The focus is open networking and easy-going conversations so that more business happens between our attendees easily. At roughly 11 am there is a short announcement section and you’ll find out who is in the room to help facilitate more connections. Information Source: Business Buzz | eventbrite

Immerse yourself in the beauty of Sindhi Ajrak prints and textiles through the creation of a stunning printed masterpiece inspired by age old crafts. Sip on your favourite chai, relax, and let the vivid colours of the Sindh transport you to a world of creativity. We'll spend the first half of the workshop carving our blockprinting stencils, and the second half will be spent printing and adding details. Whether you're an experienced artist or a beginner, this event is designed for everyone to enjoy. The techniques used will not require knives or any sharp materials, but will instead be the instructors own take on block printing. Your experienced instructor will provide insights into the historical significance of the Ajrak craft, as well as an opportunity to learn some alternative printing techniques, creating your own compositions and allowing you to connect with the stories embedded in these patterns.

NOW TWICE A MONTH! On the 1st Friday of the month and the 2nd Tuesday of the month. Both 12pm-2.30pm. Change of venue to The Beech House as of April 2025. From the award-winning creator of ‘Bring Your Baby Guided London Walks’, ‘Bring Your Baby Pub Quizzes’ are fun, brain-stimulating daytime parent socials, which take place all over London, the South East, the South West and The Midlands. Team size is 6 maximum to make it fair on everyone. Quizzes take a slower pace than traditional ones. We are parents ourselves, and understand juggling a ‘baby brain’ with baby distractions! Toddlers and older children are welcome, but are the parent or carer's responsibility. Please bring suitable toys and games to entertain them while you quiz! We take two breaks to feed, change and chat, and questions are always repeated. Settle in with the picture round from 12pm, with a further five quiz rounds (including general knowledge, music, connection and themed) starting at 12.30pm until 2.30pm. Don’t panic if you’re a bit late - we repeat questions. A lunch menu including vegan and gluten-free options is available. Baby change is available, including our legendary mobile baby change which means you don't need to leave the quiz to change baby! A number of high chairs are also available. Prizes for 1st, 2nd & 3rd places include items such as Prosecco, luxury chocolates and beauty boxes. Complimentary sweet treats for each table (sealed in packaging). Important notes: - Children are the responsibility of the parent or guardian, and must be monitored by them at all times. - We understand that the parent or guardian will want to keep sleeping babies close to their table in baby carriers (including, for example: prams, buggies or car seats). However if babies are awake we reserve the right to ask the parent or guardian to move their baby carrier into a designated area of the venue to meet health and safety requirements (such as clear access to fire exits and clear walkways). - Refunds or requests to move to a future event or date must be requested within 24 hours of the event commencing so that we can try to refill the space in adequate time. - On occasion we take photos or short video clips at our 'Bring Your Baby Pub Quizzes' or 'Bring Your Baby Guided London Walks'. By attending you are giving your permission for these to be used for Bring Your Baby Ltd promotional purposes. Any individual who we have taken a photograph of and published can request that any photographs are removed and deleted at any time. Even if they have given consent when booking according to our terms and conditions, they can of course withdraw their consent and can contact us at Lucy@bringyourbaby.org (c) Copyright 'Bring Your Baby Ltd' Information Source: 'Bring Your Baby' Pub Quizzes | eventbrite
