Bristol — Week of 24 Aug 2026

CodeHub Bristol's regular Hack Night is a relaxed social-coding evening at DeskLodge House for anyone with an interest in programming and web development, whatever their level. Bring a side project you've been meaning to get to, pair up with someone on a new idea, work through coding challenges, or just come to learn and meet Bristol's developer community. Arrive from 6pm for intros by 6:30pm, then solo or group hacking until close. CodeHub is a chapter of OpenTechSchool and one of the most active grassroots dev communities in the South West.

A social, game-development-focused co-working session at Replay Bristol on Cheltenham Road, where developers of any skill level bring their own projects and work on them in company. Programmers, artists, designers and anyone working on anything game-related is welcome to drop in. Bristol has an unusually deep games cluster for its size, and Bristol Indie Developers is the community that keeps the independent end of it connected. Free.

A hands-on, competitive sales workshop for founders and early-stage teams — the second instalment of the 'Hack Your Sales' challenge from for the FOUNDERS. Rather than sitting through traditional sales training, you work in small teams on real sales tasks for your own business, scoring points for action, creativity and results as you build genuine pipeline. Expect three hours of live selling, teamwork and practical techniques you can use with customers immediately, finishing with the crowning of the Sales Challenge Champions. Led by Tom Bright, Founder of Bright Evolve. Free for for-the-FOUNDERS Core and Inner Circle members — check the Eventbrite listing for non-member availability. Held at DeskLodge House in Bristol's Redcliffe district.

A relaxed after-work social for anyone working in or around tech in Bristol — software developers and engineers, data scientists and analysts, cybersecurity professionals, product managers, founders, students and career-changers all welcome. No talks or agenda, just drinks, conversation and the chance to grow your network, swap ideas, hear about roles and stay current with what's happening across the local scene. Runs every Friday evening; £3 online RSVP (no tickets on the door). Organised by Bristol Tech Social.
