DISCOVER FLEET STREET QUARTER 2024
A THREE-DAY PROGRAMME DESIGNED TO HELP NEW STARTERS AND GRADUATES GET TO KNOW THE QUARTER
Tuesday 1 October – Thursday 3 October • Across Fleet Street Quarter
Discover Fleet Street Quarter returns for its third year! Three days of activities and events connecting and celebrating our vibrant community. We created Discover Fleet Street Quarter to help new starters and graduates get to know the Quarter, local businesses and others working in the area.
Get ready for creative workshops, wellness sessions, social events and captivating walking tours that reveal the stories behind this historic patch of the western City of London.
Discover Fleet Street Quarter is also open to those who want to rediscover the area, make new connections or just take part in unique local events!
This year each event (except our free lunch vouchers) costs £3 (+ Eventbrite booking fee), this is to ensure that each one of these fantastic events is well attended and avoids too many drop-outs, meaning there will be more people to get to know and everyone who wants to attend a specific event has the opportuinity to.
This nominal fee is far below the face value for each of these events, and all money collected (minus Eventbrite's booking fees) will be donated to our local charity partner, Suited & Booted, who are based on Fleet Street.
We believe promoting vibrant and progressive cultural offerings is crucial in attracting new audiences to the area. With these fresh, new audiences comes new talent that allows us to build a more cutting-edge offer for our local community.
