Hatch Happy Networking Event - Groombridge, Kent

The July Hatch Networking Event!

Ready to boost your headspace and connect with fellow Kent business leaders in a truly refreshing way? Join us for our July Hatch Networking event at the amazing Caracol Glamping site! Children are also welcome at this family-friendly gathering.

Caracol Glamping is a peaceful, off-grid retreat in the Kent countryside, designed for those who want to slow down, reconnect with nature, and share meaningful time with others. With exclusive use of the site, it’s the perfect place to gather, unwind, and create lasting memories.

Hatch is your local "networking happy place," created for business owners, entrepreneurs, and leaders like you in the Kent area. If you're looking to escape the daily grind, nurture your mental wellbeing, build resilience, and connect with a supportive community that truly understands the entrepreneurial journey, then this is for you. It’s a chance to combat the loneliness that can sometimes come with running a business and find genuine connections. This is your permission slip to pause, recharge, and invest in yourself and your business.

The theme for our July event is 'Flock together - Network connection and support'

Tickets are Free, please ensure you select the relevant number of Adult and Children tickets at checkout.

What to Expect

Once we have welcomed everyone to the glamping site, we will set off on a short nature walk and scavenger hunt (approximately 30 mins). There will be a break for refreshments, followed by a short pilates session (30 mins) with the lovely Catherine Cooper from Your Real Body Pilates. Whilst you enjoy a relaxing pilates session, children will have the chance to explore our hosted woodland arts and crafts activities. Bring a picnic and mingle on site to finish the day off.
