Event overview

Friday Club is Wigan’s relaxed, end-of-week networking event - bringing together local professionals, entrepreneurs, and business owners in a friendly, informal setting.

Hosted by Cotton Works at Feast at the Mills, our monthly meet-up is all about connection, conversation, and community.

Unlike traditional networking events, Friday Club has no rigid structure or awkward pitches. It’s all about genuine connections in a friendly, down-to-earth setting — with local beverages, regional pints, and the warm atmosphere of Wigan’s newest destination, The Three Mills, located within Mill One at Cotton Works.

Expect a mix of familiar faces and new introductions — from freelancers and creatives to developers, local business leaders, and professionals looking to grow their network in Wigan.

There’s no formal agenda. Just authentic conversation, community spirit, and the chance to discover new opportunities across Wigan’s growing business scene.

What started as a small gathering of local professionals has quickly grown into one of Wigan’s most enjoyable and authentic networking events. Each month, we introduce something a little different - from casual meet-and-greets to inspiring Spotlight Talks, where members of our community share their stories, experiences, and expertise.

Whether you’re a freelancer, business owner, or part of a local team, Friday Club is open to everyone. There’s no pressure, no pitches - just great people and great conversation to round off your week.

Free drink on entry.
