 It’s your chance to unwind, connect, and celebrate with people who truly understand the highs and lows of self-employed life. 

We’ll enjoy a delicious meal together, followed by an optional stroll across the road to the Belfast Christmas Market for a browse, mulled wine (or whatever takes your fancy!), sweet treats and a lovely, wholesome way to round off the evening

Based on previous years, expect great conversation, plenty of laughs, and relaxed Christmas vibes.

Details Of The Event

Join us for a relaxed and joyful afternoon of networking, connecting, and festive fun at the stunning AMPM, one of Belfast’s most unique venues.

Whether you’re winding down for the year or looking to make new connections before the holidays, this is a great chance to mingle with like-minded professionals in a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

Expect festive vibes, great chats, and lots of laughs. After the AMPM gathering, you’re welcome to join us for a casual wander to the Belfast Christmas Market for those who’d like to keep the night going with mulled wine, sweet treats, and some magical seasonal atmosphere.

Want To Know More?

This Christmas Dinner is a fantastic opportunity for self-employed professionals from across Northern Ireland to come together, network, and celebrate the festive season in a fun, relaxed setting. It’s all about connecting with like-minded individuals, enjoying great food, and toasting to the year’s successes. Zoe, a web designer, and Tierna, a marketing consultant, are organising this purely for fun! 

  • Date: 11th December 2025
  • Time: 2pm – 4pm AM PM, then onto christmas market
  • Venue: AMPM Belfast

For the 5th year running, we are hosting a festive Christmas Dinner to bring the self-employed business community in Northern Ireland together to swap stories, advice and good will.

We’ll have bubbles on arrival and you will enjoy a sit-down 3 course festive meal. 

However, if you are employed individual and want to broaden your network, you are more than welcome.

Just a heads-up: this event is designed for individuals rather than company teams. We kindly ask that groups from the same organisation don’t book this event.

We suggest smart attire with a festive twist! Whether you bring out a Christmas jumper or just add a touch of sparkle, it’s completely up to you. The goal is to have fun and feel comfortable.

Yes! For the first year ever we have arranged exclusive hire of a space as long as we get 50 attendees. We can fill the room with a maximum of 50 people so it really is ‘first come first served’. 

We have arranged for a welcome glass of prosecco on arrival, but all other beverages must be purchased by individual attendees 

Absolutely! You don’t need to know anyone beforehand. Even Zoe and Tierna, the organisers, won’t know everyone. The whole idea is to meet new people in similar situations. Feel free to bring a self-employed friend or come solo—you’ll be in great company either way. Feel free to connect with Zoe on Linkedin or Instagram and Tierna on Linkedin or Instagram though!

Unfortunately, we’re unable to offer refunds. We have to pay upfront to secure our space at the venue, and since we’re not making any profit from this event, we can’t afford to be out of pocket. We hope you understand!
