Hatched Agency is teaming up with the Business Fest South West team to host an exclusive pre-exhibition networking event for local businesses here in Taunton – and they’d love you to join them.

Taking place at Sheppy’s Cider on Tuesday 24th February 2026, this free, relaxed morning meetup is designed to bring Somerset businesses together ahead of the main Business Fest South West exhibition in April.

Why attend?

• Network with fellow local businesses and exhibitors ahead of the main show
• Exchange insights with past and current Business Fest South West exhibitors
• Build relationships, explore collaborations and get a feel for what attending and exhibiting is all about
• Ask questions, share ideas and connect with the Hatched Agency team

Team Hatched will be on hand throughout the morning to chat, share their experiences, and talk through how Business Fest South West can support your business growth in 2026 and beyond.

You’re also very welcome to bring along another business owner who might be interested in exhibiting – they can be registered via the same form.
