Although we postponed our Special Events in 2021, our future programme will be
better than ever. We’re planning a Business Expo using all that Heywood House
has to offer for businesses to network, learn, sell, enjoy and be inspired.
Our Speakers Programme, recently included Glen Senk who was President of
Anthropologie, CEO of US quoted Urban Outfitters, one of Fortune Magazine’s
Top 50 Business people of the Year, and now a Director of Boden. Glen’s talk on
“Building Billion Dollar Businesses” is now available to view on our YouTube page.
We host a variety of events here; conferences, garden parties, workshops, and
talks – on business but also on culture and history too. “Toast Talks” are our
regular in-person breakfast talks. Our “Light Bites” series are free virtual
lunchtime talks.
Read on to keep up to date with what’s on next!
We are delighted to announce the official Heywood House Walking Map launch, walks for meetings, history, and fun…
To celebrate the special occasion, we are treating all of our members to mid-morning tea, coffee, and homemade cake in the Conservatory Cafe. So come along and join us!
We have had this up our sleeves for some time now and are excited to finally be able to share the maps and provide you with the routes to enjoy a stroll of the grounds.
We look forward to seeing you all there.
