We’ve got two very different events coming up in July through our Women in Business network.

Hopefully there’s something that piques your interest.

Wednesday 1st July – Pure Lakes 

Ever wondered how your favourite Pure Lakes candles come to life? In this workshop, you’ll explore the fragrance blending process, and pour your own 200g candle using only the finest natural ingredients to take home or give as a gift. Whether you’re a craft lover, a scent enthusiast, or simply looking for a relaxing experience in the Lakes, this workshop offers a beautiful blend of creativity and calm. Spaces are limited to keep the session personal and hands on. You’ll also enjoy locally roasted coffee and cake, explore Pure Lakes hand made production workshop on a guided tour, and receive a 15% discount on any products you’d like to purchase.

Tuesday 7th July – Safe Woman workshop (women only)

Join us for a practical, empowering Safe Woman workshop designed specifically for women in business.

Delivered by Sarah Schofield founder of the multi-award winning The Safe Woman, this session will explore pro-active personal safety in a way that is calm, confidence-building and rooted in real life.

This is not a traditional self-defence class. You do not need to be fit, strong, sporty or experienced. The Safe Woman approach is designed for everyday women, in everyday clothes, facing everyday situations - whether at work, travelling, socialising, lone working, attending meetings or simply moving through public spaces.

During the workshop, attendees will explore practical ways to improve personal safety, including situational awareness, recognising early warning signs, avoiding and de-escalating risk, and using simple release techniques if needed. The session is designed to be accessible, supportive and empowering. Women are encouraged to come as they are and wear whatever they feel comfortable in.

The Safe Woman is built around one central belief: women’s safety should not be about fear. It should be about confidence, choice and practical tools for real life.
