Business networking for women in Bristol

With such demand for women’s networking groups in the home of Freelance Mum, we have two meeting points in Bristol.

Our Bristol Hubs

Our two Bristol Hubs mean that wherever you’re based in Bristol, there’s a Freelance Mum hub not far from you. Being so close to the M32, M4 and M5, our groups also attract members from across the Southwest, making Bristol one of our strongest Freelance Mum networking communities.

Meet point:

The Ashton Court group meet at the bottom of Ashton Court (near the mansion, not at the golf course and biking centre). The netwalk route takes paths and tracks around the estate and is suitable for buggies and children. There’s plenty of space to run around and a café where you can enjoy refreshments afterwards. Dogs are welcome on this netwalk. The netwalk is led by our founder, Faye Dicker and Carly Cannings. 

Parking:

Park at Mansion House car park, where you can pay with the RingGo app.

Other:

Wear wellies in winter!

Accessibility:

This route encompasses some steps, but we can help with your buggies, or easily adapt the route to be step-free. The route is a mixture of paths, grass, and tracks.

If you have any accessibility questions or would like to discuss your individual needs, please get in touch.

North Bristol

Location:
The Gloucester Old Spot, 138 – 140 Kellaway Avenue, Horfield Bristol, BS6 7YQ
what3words:
basket.ozone.actors
Meet point:

The group meet outside the Gloucester Old Spot, then walk in the quiet  residential area around Horfield. The group then return to The Gloucester Old Spot for their business focused activity. The Gloucester Old Spot is a lovely family friendly pub, with a safe area for children to play outside. Or they can happily meet inside, around large wooden tables. The netwalk is led by Freelance Mum hosts, Lisa Agosto and Faye Dicker.

Parking:

Look out for on-street parking, in this residential area. Or you can park at the near-by Tesco on Lime Tree Road, this is free for shoppers for 2 hours.

Other:

Look out for the ladies with Freelance Mum bags on their shoulders.

Accessibility:
This route is on pavements, in a residential area, which allow for FMs to walk side by side. The route is hard tracks, with occasional ‘pinch points’ for bikes and can be easily adapted. If you have any accessibility questions or would like to discuss your individual needs, please get in touch.

The Rainbow Rule

Where there’s a rainbow, there’s…coffee on us!

Yep, if you see a rainbow while on your netwalk, we’ll buy the coffee.

...and don't forget our whole network weekly coffee mornings.

UK – Every Wednesday, 10:30am – 11:15am (GMT) on Zoom

They’re a chance to chat, connect with other FMs from across the hubs, and share successes and challenges in your business and life.
