The Beauty, Health & Wellness Gathering

The Beauty, Health & Wellness Gathering is at MK:U Innovation Hub on Monday 8 February, from 10 am to 1 pm. It's part of the 'Gatherings: Milton Keynes' collection, and it's run by Claire B and Claire R of The Balance and Bliss (Accountants) Limited, who specialise in the beauty, health and wellness sector.

If you work in any of those fields, the whole thing is framed as a relaxed, friendly meet-up for professionals rather than a sales pitch or a finance workshop. The idea is that you can connect, share stories and grow your business alongside people doing similar work. It's less about being talked at and more about being in the room with others who get it.

The format is a bit different from your usual gathering. There's no speaker on a stage; instead, it starts with a collective deep breath in a breathwork session, followed by a practical workshop on pricing. So you get a moment to settle in before moving into the more business-focused part of the morning. Tea, coffee and biscuits are included, and parking is paid.

It runs from 10 am to 1 pm, with doors opening at 9:45 am, so there's plenty of time to get in and find your seat before things kick off. Tickets are free, though spaces are limited, so it's worth booking early if you're planning to go. You'll find it at MK:U Innovation Hub, 200 Silbury Boulevard, Milton Keynes MK9 1LT.
