Create Connect - 8th May

If one of your intentions for 2025 is to promote your businesses and yourself a bit more, then in person networking is a great way to shout about how your work can benefit others. Whether it is a new painting, a retreat or a gift, it needs to be shared so that people know it exists.

That’s why we’re inviting you to a relaxed, and informal networking event at Sage and Salt in Petersfield on the 8th May from 18:00-20:00. Not only will you meet fellow creatives and wellbeing professional, but you’ll also get to see all the wonderful creations at Sage and Salt Studio.

This event is all about connection—whether you're an artist, designer, or creator, this space is for you. It’s a chance to get away from the overwhelm for a bit, meet people who get it, and find new opportunities to share what you do. You never know what a conversation could lead to—collaborations, new customers, or just some much-needed inspiration!

A little backstory...
This event came to life thanks to the friendship between Sarah from ZW Create and Sarah-Jane from Sage and Salt. Sarah first wandered into Sage and Salt searching for inspiration, and they instantly connected. Now, they’re bringing their passion for the local creative community together. Sarah’s run two buzzing networking events already and has supported hundreds of businesses as a Business Advisor, and Sarah-Jane, with her shop filled with local artists’ work, is just as passionate about supporting creative businesses.

And this event? It’s all about building that community spirit, we want to give businesses like yours the chance to connect, share, and grow, because we believe this community is a magical, supportive space.
