Pull up a chair at The Creative Table — a thoughtful, nurturing space where local creatives, freelancers and agencies come together to connect, collaborate, and champion one another.

The Creative Table

Founded and hosted by Estelle Kerby and Laura West, The Creative Table brings creative business minds together. It’s a space to swap insights, gain fresh perspectives and contribute your own experiences - a place to step away from the noise and into real conversation. 

This isn’t awkward small talk or forced pitches; there’s no posturing, no pressure, no need to have it all figured out. It’s shared ideas, honest reflections, and meaningful support, served à table over good food in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.

Come hungry — for connection, creativity, and community.

How to get involved in The Creative Table?

There are two ways to pull up a chair…..

1. Creative Table - The Coffee Sessions

A monthly creative meet-up — relaxed, welcoming, and genuinely useful.

Our Open Table sessions take place once a month in and around Bishops Stortford. Sometimes we gather over coffee and a slow morning chat, sometimes we sit down for lunch, sometimes we head outdoors — but the heart of it stays the same: good conversation, shared ideas, and meaningful connection.

  • A relaxed, open space to talk about what’s inspiring you, what you’re working on, what you’re figuring out — and to hear from others doing the same.

  • Creative freelancers, agency owners, and independents — designers, copywriters, content creators, developers, podcasters and more — anyone building something creative and looking to connect with others doing the same.

    • Genuine, pressure-free connections

    • Opportunities to collaborate, work together, and naturally widen your network

    • Fresh ideas and new perspectives

    • A sounding board for thoughts and challenges

    • A sense of community and shared understanding

    • Energy, momentum, and inspiration to take back into your work

It’s networking — but stripped back, more human, and actually valuable.

No booking, no membership — just show up. Follow along for the next date and location, and pull up a chair when it suits you.

2. Creative Table - The Focus Sessions

A focused, small-group mentoring experience designed to move your business forward.

Our Working Table is for small creative businesses, freelancers, and agency owners who are ready to go deeper — to step back from the day-to-day and work on their business with clarity and support.

    • Small group of up to 6 business owners or freelancers (plus Laura and Estelle).

    • 4 sittings across 4 months

    • Led by Estelle (branding and website expert) and Laura (marketing strategist & business mentor)

    • Consistent group to build trust, accountability, and real progress over time

    Each session starts with shared reflections — wins, challenges, progress — before moving into the core question:
    What is the one thing that could shift the dial in your business right now — and what’s standing in the way?

    From there, the group works together — offering insight, perspective, and practical input grounded in real experience.

  • Creative business owners navigating challenges such as:

    • Feeling stuck or unsure of next steps

    • Refining positioning or niche

    • Pricing and profitability struggles

    • Growth and direction decisions

    • Lack of clarity or confidence

    • Needing accountability and honest input

    • Clear, actionable next steps for your business

    • Honest, thoughtful feedback from people who get it

    • Expert guidance from Estelle and Laura

    • A trusted space to share openly and be challenged constructively

    • Opportunities to collaborate more deeply, build meaningful working relationships, and expand your network with intention

    • Strong relationships and a support network that lasts beyond the sessions

    • Increased confidence, clarity, and momentum

    As seen in our first sessions, the impact goes beyond the room — from clearer goals to tangible actions and renewed confidence.

Spaces are intentionally limited to keep the experience personal and high-value.
If you’re ready to move forward with clarity and support, get in touch to reserve your seat at the table.
