Ctrl+Coffee

Make cool things. Meet kind people. Drink good coffee.

Ctrl+Coffee is a chill, café-based hangout for anyone working on a side project, whatever that means to you! Maybe you're writing a blog, building an app, designing something unusual and fun, or just finally opening that “one day” folder on your laptop. If it's your passion, let's do it!

We meet in Manchester coffee shops with good vibes, decent WiFi, and plenty of plugs. No pressure, no awkward intros andjust a few hours in our busy weeks to focus on what you care about, surrounded by others doing the same.

This might be your kind of thing if:

• You've got a side project that keeps getting pushed to “next week”
• You’re looking for a bit of motivation, structure, or just a change of scene
• You want to meet friendly, creative people and building your community!

All identities, experience levels, and kinds of projects are welcome. Ctrl+Coffee is all about building an inclusive, kind community!

Come as you are. Bring your passion project. Let’s make some cool stuff together.

👋 I’m new to Manchester myself - a data scientist by day, creative dabbler when I got the time, and I started this group to carve out time for my own side projects and build a lovely community! This is my first time scheduling events, so bear with me while I learn the ropes 🙈
