Black Founders Studio Graduation Gala
About this Event
This summer, Black Founders Studio invites you to a landmark celebration of the founders shaping the future of British business.
The Graduation Gala marks a defining milestone for the entrepreneurs we have supported, the moment they step forward and launch their brands into the world. Held at the iconic Chester Racecourse on Saturday 1 August 2026, it is a day that brings together ambition, creativity and community in equal measure.
Expect an afternoon of substance and celebration. The graduation ceremony honours each founder's journey and the work behind it. The live brand showcase puts their products directly in front of you: an opportunity to discover, experience and buy from a new generation of Black-owned brands before anyone else. Around it all, a gala atmosphere designed for genuine connection, bringing founders together with investors, retail buyers, press and supporters who can help carry their momentum forward.
Whether you come to celebrate, to discover your next favourite brand, to invest, or simply to be part of something meaningful, you will leave having witnessed the talent and determination redefining what British entrepreneurship looks like.
This is more than an event. It is a statement of what is possible when Black founders are given the platform they deserve. We would be honoured to have you in the room.
Dress code: Gala Attire. Catering by Horseradish.
