Meet with like-minded entrepreneurs, self-employed people and small business owners in the unique setting of the Martello Tower F on the Clacton-on-Sea coastline.

Network, collaborate, promote your services and support each other at our new for 2023 monthly in-person networking event, which is open to FSB members and non-members.

In addition to smaller breakout sessions, we'll be joined each month by a guest speaker who has been hand picked to deliver advice and local business news.

This month's guest speaker is Carla Watkins. Carla is a brand photographer, small business magic maker and colourful, magical weirdo. She specialises in creating beautiful bespoke photo libraries for small businesses and their owners which reflect who they are and what they stand for, as well as what they do.

Being 3000% you is your magic ingredient for standing out from your competitors - and Carla will take you through how to show up as your true self, lean into your weird, find the connection points with your most ideal clients - and use photography to help your business fly.

Member tickets for this event are £8 and non-member tickets are £10. The price includes tea, coffee and a continental breakfast.

There is on street parking within a short walking distance of the tower. Please note that although the tower is accessible to wheelchairs, there is a steep slope to the tower entrance. The networking session, refreshments and bathroom are all on the same level as the entrance to the tower. The garden is only accessible via a staircase. If you would like to discuss your accessibility requirements prior to booking, please contact Leila Jones on [email protected]

Only one ticket per email address can be purchased for our events. For additional tickets, each guest is required to use their own email address.
