Led by Phoenix in partnership with Shy Films, Badshoes Film, and Ben Fredericks Collaborations, we host twice-monthly events featuring industry talks and informal networking. These sessions offer practical insights, creative exchange, and opportunities to build meaningful connections.
For those looking to establish a creative business—whether as a sole trader or company—we also offer tailored business development support through the Platform Business Lab. Applications are now open and close at 23:59 on Sunday, 9 February.
We aim to grow and collaborate with both existing and future networks, fostering a diverse and vibrant community of creatives and contributing to a thriving creative landscape for the city.
This Phoenix project is funded by the UK Shared Prosperity Fund via Leicester City Council.
