The Beauty, Health & Wellness Gathering

The Beauty, Health & Wellness Gathering is coming to MK:U Innovation Hub on Monday 9 November, from 11 am to 1 pm. It's a morning meet-up for people working in the beauty, health and wellness sectors — clinic owners, freelancers and practitioners of health, beauty and wellness treatments. If that's your line of work, it's a chance to step away from the day-to-day and spend a couple of hours with other people doing similar things in Milton Keynes.

The morning is run by Claire B and Claire R of The Balance & Bliss, accountants who specialise in the beauty, health and wellness sector. They've set it up as a relaxed, friendly space to connect, share stories and grow a business. There'll be a spotlight speaker and refreshments on the table, so it's not just about the chatting — there's a bit of a programme to the morning too.

One thing they're quite clear about: this isn't a sales pitch or a finance workshop. They describe it as a space to move from marketing ideas to real connection, so it's more about meeting people in person than sitting through a presentation. If you're used to the networking side of things feeling a bit like a pitch, this is meant to be the opposite.

It runs from 11 am to 1 pm, with doors opening at 10:45 am, so you've got a few minutes to get settled before it kicks off. The venue is MK:U Innovation Hub, 200 Silbury Boulevard, MK9 1LT. Entry is free, though spaces are limited, so you'll want to book your ticket in advance. Just a heads-up that parking is paid, so keep that in mind when you're planning your morning.
