Local Creative Socials

Local Creatives Socials are relaxed, welcoming networking events for creatives in the Winchester area working across the live performance (and wider creative industries). Whether you're involved in writing, spoken word, music, theatre, or other creative disciplines, these sessions offer a supportive space to connect and grow.

Our socials are designed to help you:

• Meet peers and build meaningful connections
• Share ideas, experiences, and creative practice
• Hear about upcoming opportunities with Play to the Crowd
• Spotlight your own work and the projects you’re developing

Each gathering blends informal networking with gentle facilitation or themed discussion, encouraging collaboration and conversation in a friendly, inclusive environment.

As the network grows, so will the shape of these events. We'll adapt each session in response to the interests and needs of the creatives who attend. This is your Local Creatives network—flexible, responsive, and shaped by the people in the room.

Join us to connect, create, and be part of Winchester’s vibrant creative community.
