“The event is as a chance to unwind, connect and network, offering a break from traditional formal networking formats in favour of a more social, accessible approach”.

Westside BID has previously delivered a range of business and community-focused initiatives across the district, including networking, wellbeing, and seasonal events aimed at strengthening ties between local organisations.
