Networking Social - The After Work Club x Barbaras Bier Haus

The After Work Club is launching in Brighton on Thursday 10 September, with their first local social taking place at Barbara's Bier Haus on West Street. It's a networking evening for professionals, and the whole thing runs from 17:30 to 20:30, so it's designed to fit into a working day rather than eating into your night.

If you've not come across them before, The After Work Club is a nationwide community for ambitious professionals who want a bit more from their evenings. They run laid-back, feel-good in-person events across the UK — Leeds, Manchester, Newcastle and Edinburgh are already on the list — and the format varies. It can be networking mixers and summer socials, or wellness sessions, development workshops and inspiring talks. The common thread is making meaningful professional and social connections in a relaxed, no-pressure setting.

They partner with local brands, studios and venues, and membership opens up exclusive perks, discounts and an online platform. You don't have to be a member to come along, though, so you can just drop in for the night. This Brighton date marks their launch in the city, and they're inviting people to become some of the first members of The After Work Club Brighton and help shape the community from the start.

On the night, there's a welcome drink on arrival and sharing nibbles throughout the evening. Tickets are £7.99, and the session runs from 17:30 to 20:30 at Barbara's Bier Haus, West Street, BN1 2RA.
