You know that feeling when you find your people? That's exactly what I feel every month when I meet up with my new matches on the creative lunch club. People I've met have all been genuine and interested in real human connection. I genuinely look forward to my new matches every month.

The Idea

Meeting other creative and inspiring people is one of the best things about working in the creative industries. But networking events are boring. Wouldn't it be much nicer to meet other creatives over lunch?

This is where the Creative Lunch Club comes in. We bring creative people together to have lunch together.

Creative Lunch Club is amazing! It makes it easy to connect with other creatives in your area, making new friends every month. I've really enjoyed my lunches so far.

How it works

Join the Club, and we will connect you with two other creatives from your city once a month. Together you set a time and a place and have lunch.

There are no rules for lunch. Talk about your work, projects, what inspires you, and what you enjoy.

Meetups

Besides our matching system, we also host meetups in larger groups. These have a fixed date, time, and location, and create space to meet even more creatives, share ideas, and connect beyond your usual circle.

As a Creative Lunch Club member, you can join these meetups for free and be part of the wider community coming together around a shared table.

Creatives meeting and talking over lunch
I am an East London girl with a busy life and have found it hard to meet like-minded creatives but after only using the creativelunchclub once, I met one of my soul mates. Not only are we doing some collaborating with her being a singer and myself working in fashion and modelling which has all been really useful but we have also become best friends. Loved my experience and would highly recommend it for anyone that wants to network in the creative ares and you never know, you might meet your bestie too.

Running a service-based creative business is a lonely journey. Since joining Creative Lunch Club, I've developed meaningful connections with amazing creatives across photography, UX, marketing and more. Bonding with others in the creative industry has been incredibly insightful, not only for inspiration and ideas, but also reminding me why I love being a creative storyteller.
