About
Social Connection is more important than ever and we invite you to become part of our communities. Ladies Who Lunch is a thriving and supportive community of women who enjoy meeting new ladies and escaping their week to do something important for themselves. Join us for 2 hours of ‘you time’ where you can enjoy a 2-course meal, drink on arrival, goodie bag and networking with other amazing women. At Ladies Who Lunch we truly believe that good business connections and life connections are made once you’ve taken the time to get to know someone first. Many women come to their first event solo, it’s a great way to meet new people. Everyone is introduced and our vibe is ‘inclusive’. Reach out if you have questions on one of the platforms below.
Come and get stuck into one of our ‘Gin Palace’ social networking parties. We love to bring men and women together to connect, make new friendships and have some relaxed fun. The best thing about these events is that they start in the afternoon or early evening, so you can let your hair down and be home before it’s too late. The feedback we have is excellent, people love the upbeat vibe, friendly people and unique atmospheres we create. If you’re arriving solo let our hosts know and we will introduce you to new friends, it’s a great way to meet people. Lasting friendships have been forged at Gin Palace.
Our events always sell out so stay connected with our updates by heading to our Ladies Who Lunch Facebook or Instagram
