Previous Link Events
Murder Mystery Night with Tree House Cafe
Our most recent event was in partnership with Treehouse Cafe, who hosted a very special edition of 'Blood on the clocktower' for us at the Victoria. This was truly one of our most exciting and well attended events to date.
A cosy setting at local board game cafe 'The Dice Box'. We chose this venue as we wanted a more intimate setting for the colder nights; a chance to wind down before the Christmas festivities began. We had fabulous feedback for this one, members of Link Group said it was the most they'd laughed all year!
Our Summer event had us getting hands on and cheesy at our very own pizza-making evening. This was the perfect opportunity to connect in a relaxed and creative environment. Plus we got to enjoy our own creations over drinks afterwards!
We recently held a coffee morning in collaboration with Rider Levett Bucknall (RLB). This was the perfect opportunity to invite people to get to know us in our offices and see what we're all about. We were joined by a real mix of professionals across various sectors and backgrounds, hearing from people at the start of their careers right up to insights from our Chairman, Neil Salter.
We held our launch event, 'Halloween Hangout' on Wednesday 30th October 2024, and it was a huge hit! Thank you to everyone who joined us, it was great to see such a mixture of people from all backgrounds and industries.
