Instead of our usual tech meet-up, we’re wrapping up the year with a relaxed Christmas social!

Come join us at Wings and Beer on Cannon Street for an evening of chat and a chance to unwind before the holidays.
This isn’t a drinking session — just a warm, informal get-together where we can catch up, meet new faces, and celebrate another year of our community. We will book a table so if you can let us know if you are planning on coming that would be really helpful.
Whether you’re a regular or it’s your first time, you’re very welcome to join us.
We hope to see you there and share some festive cheer!

The Preston Tech Connection team will be working from Society1 in the day beforehand, so if you'd like to join us on a day pass, please email work@society1.co.uk to arrange.

We are meeting at Wings and Beer at 6pm, come join us when you can, we would love to see you.
