Networking with a difference - Chilston Park

The event was a fantastic success!

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us, and to the wonderful team at Chilston Park Hotel, part of Hand Picked Hotels, for hosting us so warmly and helping make it a memorable day. Guests were welcomed with Bucks Fizz, tea, and coffee, followed by delicious croissants, canapés, and charcuterie. After a warm welcome from the hotel’s General Manager, we enjoyed a scenic autumn walk to the beehives, where each guest received a jar of their homemade honey to take home. Chilston Park’s commitment to sustainability is impressive, with their bee population soon to reach one million!

Back at the hotel, we were treated to a guided tour of the beautifully themed rooms before returning to the main hall for excellent networking. It was incredibly rewarding to hear how much people enjoyed the day and the new connections they made. We’re so grateful to our wonderful partners and to everyone who attended.

We’re already planning more exciting events for the New Year! If you’d like to join us, please reach out to the What's On in Kent team at sales@whatsoninkent.com or register your interest here: https://mailchi.mp/whatsoninkent/interested-in-networking
