From Blank to Built
25/08/26 9:30am – 1pm
This isn’t another drag-and-drop template library or a generic AI tool.
It is a rigorous, half-day system that combines fifteen years of professional design and copywriting experience with modern AI speed.
You walk out with a fully live, specific-to-your-business website that sounds like you, not a language model.

Crafts & Chats
11/09/26 12pm – 2pm
If you ever feel like you desperately need two hours off admin but you’d feel too guilty to actually take them, we found you a cheat code.
Meet CRAFTS & CHATS: a slow morning meet-up, fuelled by good coffee and good company.
Bring whatever craft you’re into (colouring, knitting, cross stitch, collage, literally anything) and chat with other founders and freelancers about work (or not).
Connecting and networking have never been so chill.
Still have some things to tick off your to-do list before the weekend? We’ve got you covered with our second ticket option:
🎟️ 10am to 12pm, £15: two hours of crafting, chatting, free coffee & snacks
🎟️ 10am to 2pm, £20: all of that, plus 2 hours of desk time (12-2 PM) if you want to get some work done (or just keep talking, no judgement)
Open to everyone. Spots are limited.

Art In The Burrow – Mindful Origami
17/09/26 12pm – 1pm
Origami Cranes with Art in the Burrow
Join us at Ely Work Collective on Thursday 17th September from 12pm–1pm for a creative lunchtime workshop with Laura from Art in the Burrow.
Take a break from your day and learn how to create your own beautiful paper origami crane, with step-by-step guidance throughout. You’ll also have the chance to create intricate patterns and designs on your paper, inspired by elements of nature collected and observed.
Discover the symbolism behind the origami crane and explore how creative activities can support wellbeing, provide a mindful reset and offer a welcome break from the stresses of daily life.
You’ll finish your crane with raffia ribbon to create a hanging decoration and add words of gratitude to its wings. The workshop will conclude with everyone collectively hanging their creations to create a beautiful final display.
Free to attend for anyone booked in at Ely Work Collective on the day using the tickets associated with this event.
EWC Small Business Summer Party
18/09/26 5:30pm – 10pm
Running a small business or flying solo as a freelancer is amazing – but let’s be honest, you don’t always get the chance to celebrate those wins, and there’s no invite to the corporate summer party coming.
So this year, we’re throwing one just for you!
Join us at the beautiful Willow Grange Farm for an evening of drinks, pizza, good company and a few fun surprises along the way.
It’s your chance to celebrate everything you’ve built this year so far, connect with other like-minded business owners, and let your hair down.
For just £25 (early bird price until the end of July), you get a refreshing welcome drink on arrival, delicious pizza cooked at the outside pizza oven at Willow Grange Farm and an evening of fun and celebrating with other local businesses.
Oh, and the even greater part of the event, you’ll be supporting a great local charity as proceeds are going to the Ely Foodbank.

Coworking & Colour Analysis
25/09/26 9am – 5:30pm
Join us for a day (or half day) of coworking with a lunchtime session on personal colour analysis.
If you’ve been thinking about getting your colour analysis done, this is a perfect opportunity to be introduced to how it works and have a mini 1-1 consultation to understand the perfect colours for you.
