Networking for founders, creators, freelancers + rebels ⚡

Rebel Meetups' monthly Bristol gathering, running since 2013 and now in partnership with techSPARK locally. Casual networking for founders, creators, freelancers and anyone adjacent, with an occasional fireside chat from a founder or business owner. No agenda and no dress code. Drinks at the bar. 18:00 to 20:00 at The Square Club, 15 Berkeley Square. Go in through the main reception of the Berkeley Square Hotel to sign in and they will send you downstairs. Free, underwritten by the venue and volunteer hosts. 24 people signed up, and the group carries a 4.8 rating across 421 reviews. Why go: a thirteen-year run and a techSPARK tie-in mean the room is reliably made of people who actually build things, which is not true of most free networking nights. Best for freelancers and early-stage founders who want a low-stakes first door into the Bristol scene.
