A Free Event for Creatives, Foodies, Tourism Professionals & Entrepreneurs
Join us for Make the Most of the Coast, an inspiring and practical event exploring the exciting potential of coastal enterprise – from food and drink to creative experiences, events, and tourism.

Network with other like-minded creatives and entrepreneurs, all passionate about making ideas happen
Whether you want to launch a food business, run creative workshops by the sea, or offer memorable coastal visitor experiences, this event is your chance to explore what’s possible.
Let the coast inspire your next big idea – here in Durham, across the UK, or anywhere the sea touches.
