Beyond Local: Events, Workshops, Culture
About
Discovering and introducing eclectic mix of subjects and talents which brim over with creativity. We started in Spring 2024 and are broadening our scope.
Where we are
Stourbridge based, West Midlands
What happens and why?
Themed discussions, engaging guest speakers, brain-teasing quizzes, workshops with respected experts from local established artisan businesses and charities sharing their bespoke knowledge, and more. Our events offer a little something for everyone. We take pride in showcasing the endeavors of our local charities, businesses, performers and artisans, and focus their impacts on our local environment and wellbeing for all. For enjoyment, education, and above all, connection, we stay relevant by embracing seasonality and keeping our finger on the pulse of what matters most to all of us. In 2025 we will be placing a stronger and practical emphasis on our wellbeing and health.
