Exciting news! I'm arranging a Speed Friending Evening event!

It is a relaxed, fun version of speed dating, but instead of romance, it’s all about making new friends. The aim is to create an easy-going, welcoming space where you can have genuine conversations, share some laughs, and hopefully leave with a few new connections.

The first one is happening next Thursday 11th September 🎉

This is the first run - small, relaxed and fun, so it’s the perfect chance to be part of something new right from the start.

Come join us for a fun evening of speed friending in Brighton & Hove - meet new people, make friends, and have a great time!

Do you ever do 1 on 1's, or small group work for up to 7 people? If you hold space for others, you deserve a space that supports you too.

Therapists, coaches, and facilitators tell us the meeting room helps them feel grounded and present, because the atmosphere does half the work. Plus, it provides a peaceful safe space for your clients.

Book by the hour/half day or the day. Large discounts for regular bookings. Simple, flexible, and supportive.

Want to run a truly productive meeting?
Whether it’s strategy, planning, or creative collaboration, here are 5 practical tips to make every minute count:

1. Set a clear purpose
Define the goal of the meeting in one sentence. If you can’t, rethink whether it needs to happen at all.

2. Share an agenda in advance
Outline the key topics and allocate time for each. People work better when they know what’s coming.

3. Start on time, end on time
Respect everyone’s schedule. Punctuality builds trust—and keeps meetings focused.

4. Keep it small
Invite only those who truly need to be there. Fewer people = faster decisions.

5. Capture actions & next steps
Summarise who’s doing what by when. A good meeting ends with momentum, not confusion.

☀️ Hot Weather Tips for Families & Day Trips ☀️

Struggling in the heat? Here are a few easy ways to stay cool, hydrated, and happy when you're out and about:

💧 Freeze your water bottles
Fill a plastic bottle ⅓–½ full, freeze overnight at an angle (to maximise surface area), then top it up before you leave. Cold water for hours!

☕️ DIY iced coffee
Half-fill a bottle with your favourite iced coffee and freeze it. Top it up in the morning for a chilled pick-me-up that lasts all day.

🍊 Frozen Capri Suns = cool picnics + slushies
Throw frozen drink pouches into your picnic bag – they keep food cool and become icy slush drinks kids love.

💦 Cool down with water play
Dampen hair and T-shirts to help regulate body temperature. Or take small water guns and turn it into a cooling game for the kids.

🚰 Stay hydrated
Even mild dehydration can affect mood, energy, and focus – especially for children. Sip water regularly, even if no one feels thirsty yet.

Watch out though for condensation on the outside of the drinks, so best to put in a plastic bag.

I hope these tips help. Emma 😊

The coffee shop’s too loud.
The home office is full of distractions.
And that corporate meeting pod just doesn’t feel right.

Sometimes you need a space that holds you gently, with no background noise—just room to think, talk, plan, create.

That’s what we offer at The Heart of Hove. Quiet, beautiful space that supports deep work.
