Southern Creative Catalyst returns to Farnborough

A chance for creatives across North Hampshire and Surrey to connect with fellow creatives working in film, TV, games, & beyond

We had an incredible time connecting with creative minds in October, and we can’t wait to do it again.Tickets are free, but registration is essential. Please book by following the link above.

Thanks to the fantastic Farnborough International team for hosting us once more - we’ll be at Farnborough International Studios on Thursday, 5th February 2026.

We’re thrilled to welcome Chloe Burrell from Too Many Words to our volunteer team, joining Rachel, Jenni, and the SCC crew to help spread the word and bring together talent across film, TV production, gaming, design, marketing, and all forms of creativity in North Hampshire and Surrey.

This isn’t just another networking event - it’s a chance to connect with fellow freelancers and creatives working in film, TV, games, and beyond, especially those who live locally but often commute to London. You might be surprised by the creative community right on your doorstep.

We’re gathering to spark conversations, build connections, and create a sense of community around the incredible facilities at Farnborough International Studios. Whether you’re behind the camera, coding a game, designing campaigns, or crafting stories - this is your space to meet others who get it.

We’ll keep things informal (promise). It’s all about real conversations and meaningful connections.

Know someone who should be there? Tag them, bring them, or forward this invite. The more creative energy in the room, the better.

Let’s build something together.

This event is organised by the RSA Fellow-led Southampton Network, in collaboration with Farnborough International Studios.
