Bee Local confirms sponsorship of the 2026 Business Networking Event
Bee Local Magazine is once again proud to support the annual Business Networking Event, delivered in association with Leighton-Linslade Town Council.
Since the network’s inception in 2012, Bee Local has played an active role in championing local enterprise from helping to shape the early foundations of the event, to later standing alongside other key business organisations to provide the financial support needed to ensure this important free event could continue.
Now a well-established fixture in the local business calendar, the annual Business Networking Event attracts around 150 local business owners, sole traders and entrepreneurs each year. Its purpose is simple but powerful: to create an accessible, low-pressure environment where micro and small businesses can make genuine connections, share knowledge and strengthen the local economy.
Business Networking Event 2026
Wednesday 29 April | 6:00pm – 8:30pm
📍 Leighton Buzzard Golf Club
This free, informal networking event is open to businesses of all sizes, sectors and trades. Attendees can expect:
- Face-to-face introductions with like-minded local business people
- Opportunities to build client and supplier relationships
- Insight into local business support and services
- Connections with other networking groups operating in the area

The event is designed to strengthen communication across the business community and encourage local trading by helping businesses better understand who is operating in Leighton-Linslade — and how they can support one another.
A long-term commitment to local business
Andrena from Bee Local said:
*“When I started my business back in 2012, it was business networking that really helped launch Bee Local. Having the opportunity to talk openly with other entrepreneurs; to share experiences, challenges and support was invaluable.
Bee Local continues to support this free networking event because it remains one of the most effective and meaningful ways we can invest back into our local business community.”*
