If you’re searching for an evening networking group near Kimbolton, look no further than Kimbolton Connects. In just three meetings, this friendly and supportive local group has already grown to 12 members, bringing together business owners, community leaders, and organisations who all share a strong connection to Kimbolton and the surrounding villages.
What is Kimbolton Connects?
Kimbolton Connects is a relaxed, monthly evening networking group designed for local businesses, charities, and community organisations who want to build meaningful connections without the pressure of formal or sales-focused events. Unlike many daytime networking groups, Kimbolton Connects is held in the evening, making it perfect for those who work during the day but still want to raise their profile and meet like-minded people.
Each meeting takes place on the third Wednesday of the month, and the venue rotates between local businesses and community spaces. This not only keeps things fresh and interesting but also shines a spotlight on the fantastic venues in and around Kimbolton.
Why Evening Networking Works
Evening networking has quickly become popular for local business owners and group leaders who find traditional morning or lunchtime sessions difficult to attend. By hosting meetings between 7pm and 9pm, Kimbolton Connects provides a friendly and flexible way to meet others, share ideas, and grow local awareness without cutting into busy working hours.
The focus is on creating genuine conversations and building long-term connections, rather than quick-fire sales pitches. With plenty of time for introductions, group discussions, and relaxed conversations, members and visitors alike leave feeling inspired and supported.

Highlights from Our First Three Meetings
The first three meetings have been a real success. From the very first gathering at The New Sun Inn, members enjoyed relaxed conversations and meaningful introductions. Our second meeting, hosted by Whitchurch Wines, combined networking with a warm and friendly welcome. For our third meeting, Blue Squid Learning welcomed us into their space, where we enjoyed fantastic conversations, idea-sharing, and two inspiring presentations – the first, with delicious treats, from Natasha our Thermomix expert, and the second from Blue Squid Learning, which was truly thought-provoking.
The response from both members and visitors has been overwhelmingly positive, and the group is already forming a strong sense of community.
