About this Event

Join Us for the Third Suffolk Tourism, Hospitality & The Arts Network Meet-up

This is an event you won’t want to miss!

We’re thrilled to offer an exclusive opportunity to explore John Ferguson's exhibition at Christchurch Mansion, 'An Eye For Life,' with a private guided tour by the acclaimed photographer himself.

John Ferguson is a renowned documentary, lifestyle, and portrait photographer based in Ipswich. His work spans over 60 countries, covering everything from conflict zones and natural disasters to intimate promotional campaigns highlighting poverty, refugees, and rural loneliness. He has photographed a diverse array of subjects, from global celebrities like Dolly Parton and Beyoncé to unsung heroes of the Black Britannia project, which is now housed in the National Portrait Gallery.

This exhibition is the first to delve into John’s remarkable career and his photography projects in Suffolk, capturing the essence of portraiture, identity, and home—from iconic figures like Bowie to the raw energy of banger racing.

Where: Christchurch Mansion (the jewel in the crown of Ipswich's historic past boasting over 500 years of history).

When: Friday, 6th December | 10 am - 12 pm

How much: £12.50pp

Why Join Us?

Have you noticed that traditional networking events often miss out on the dynamic minds from theatres, festival organisers, music venues, art studios, culinary hotspots, and tourist attractions etc.?

Our events are different. We bring together professionals from across the tourism, hospitality, and arts sectors, creating a vibrant space where you can connect, collaborate, and grow—minus the formal pitches and stuffy suits.

Relaxed Atmosphere: Network organically in a welcoming environment.

Exclusive Experiences: Each event is hosted at a unique Suffolk tourist attraction.

Inspiring Speakers: Hear from industry leaders while enjoying a Danish pastry and a hot drink.

Let’s come together to celebrate and strengthen Suffolk’s incredible creative and tourism community.

Who Are We?

We’re Clare and Lucette, two passionate Suffolk-based business owners with over 25 years of combined experience in the travel industry. We created this network because we saw a gap—a need for a space where professionals in tourism, hospitality, and the arts could connect, support one another, and collaborate on new ideas.

Join us on this journey to showcase the best of Suffolk’s creative and tourism sectors, one unique venue at a time.
