Events to build your network & knowledge
Audio + Media Networking
A relaxed networking afternoon for Bristol creatives working across film, photography, music, production, events and digital media.
This is an opportunity to meet other creatives in the industry, make genuine connections and spend time around people building exciting things locally.
WILDHeart was created because so many creatives are trying to do everything alone. This networking afternoon is about changing that. There’s no stiff corporate networking, but a supportive room where you can connect and be heard and seen.
Whether you’re established in the industry or still building confidence and connections, you’re very welcome.
📍 WILDHeart, Stokes Croft, Bristol
🕧 Friday 19th June | 1:00pm – 4pm
🎟 Donation-based networking session
You’re welcome to stay for the full afternoon or just drop in for a bit.
We’re also based right in the heart of Stokes Croft, making it the perfect excuse to continue conversations afterwards over food or drinks nearby.
💻 Want to co-work beforehand?
You’re welcome to work from the space in the morning before networking starts. Morning co-working passes are a special price for attendee's £15.
Sales for people who don’t like selling, but need to!
Do you love what you do… but feel deeply uncomfortable actually talking about it?
Does “selling yourself” feel awkward, pushy, cringe or somehow just not very you?
You’re not alone.
This practical, supportive workshop is for thoughtful, values-led people who want to feel more confident talking about their work, products or services — without feeling fake, salesy or uncomfortable.
Together we’ll explore:
✨ Why selling feels hard for so many good humans
✨ How to reframe sales as connection, not pressure
✨ Practical, ethical ways to talk about what you do
✨ Language that feels natural and authentic
✨ How to stop hiding your brilliance
Perfect for freelancers, coaches, creatives, consultants, therapists, small business owners and anyone building something meaningful.
Warm, practical, honest and encouraging — with absolutely no hard-sell energy in sight.
📍 Wild Heart, Bristol
📅 Friday 26 June
⏰ 12:30–2:00pm
Come as you are. Leave feeling more confident.

Money + Pricing for Creative & Neurodivergent Minds
The era of the starving creative is over.
Because honestly?
So many brilliant people are:
- working constantly,
- undercharging massively,
- avoiding their finances,
- or quietly panicking every time they look at their bank account.
And most of the time, it’s not because they’re “bad with money.”
It’s because nobody ever taught them:
how to price properly,
how to hold money safely,
or how to build financial habits that actually support the life they want.
This workshop is where we start changing that.
📍 WILDHeart, Stokes Croft, Bristol
🕧 Monday 6th July | 1:00pm – 3:30pm
🎟 FREE for Members | £79 Non-Members

When?
Where? WILDHeart Bristol,
You’ll takeaway tips to step up your business’ Instagram presence, with immediate action steps to apply for better marketing.
We’ll cover how to…
✅ Set up your profile bio to attract the right audience
✅ Better understand Instagram’s algorithm (and leverage it!)
✅ Create content that will appeal to followers, customers AND be recommended in front of new people
✅ Use Stories, Reels, posts and carousels; full jargon-busting and time-saving creation tips too.
✅ Be confident in how often you should post for *your* brand … all while keeping it manageable within your life and schedule, and not a drain.
Who should attend?
Small business owners, solo-business owners, creatives, entrepreneurs, and sole-traders, in both service-based and product-based businesses will benefit from this workshop.
It’s tailored for you – whether you’re a relative beginner, or maybe if you’ve been on Instagram a while but haven’t been getting the engagement, reach and click-throughs you’re hoping for.
No one is born a marketing pro. Nor does anyone have time to waste on their marketing, not getting results.
Join this class now to learn how you can spend your efforts wisely.
Session includes: Full workbook with action steps, practical exercises, demos and Q&A time.
Beyond the brief: The real rules of Influencer Marketing
: A practical, no-fluff workshop on influencer marketing for indie business owners. Learn what it actually takes to run campaigns that work, from fair offers to real results.
Seb has spent two years in the trenches of influencer marketing, running 24+ campaigns, generating 1.5 million views, and learning (sometimes the hard way) what actually works across Bristol's hospitality and lifestyle scene.
This workshop is the honest, no-fluff version of everything he wishes someone had handed him earlier. Expect real talk on what influencer marketing actually is, how to make offers that get a yes, how to build relationships that last beyond one post, and how to know if any of it is working. You'll leave with a clear framework you can put into practice immediately.
No jargon, no gatekeeping. Just a room full of indie businesses asking the same questions you've been sitting on, and the stuff that actually matters to answer them
