Events That Spark Joy

Alongside our free summer socials, we’re bringing back a few of our favourite paid events—like happy hour and our much-loved Orchard Nights live music evening.

These gatherings have become a tradition for a reason: they’re joyful, easygoing, and filled with connection. Join us at the cidery to dance, sip, and celebrate the season with good people and good vibes.

Babe - noun

An entrepreneurial person with a good heart who is searching for community and collaboration that aligns with their growing business.

  • Aside from eating the most amazing locally produced meal beachside alongside incredible local businesswomen. Attending Babes Build Community Events has given me many lasting friendships and connections with some of the finest innovators and visionaries of our era. I feel connected, supported, and like I'm part of a movement. It's very exciting to have all of this happening so close to home and I can't wait for what's to come for us all.

  • Babes build Community is such a lovely community. Being a small business owner can often be overwhelming and kinda lonely, it is so nice to have this community of like-minded folks! The events that they host are super chill, friendly, inclusive and always have the best food! Highly recommend joining an event if you haven't already and if you have, well then you know.....

  • I attended one of the first Babes events about a year ago not really know what to expect. I was feeling lonely as an entrepreneur and started looking for different networking events. I was nervous as I arrived solo and hadn’t done a networking event in so long that I was feeling out of my comfort zone. That lasted about 1 minute. Every detail was thought out to a cuteness factor of 10. Lots of opportunity to break the ice and get comfortable, followed by introductions, talks from inspiring entrepreneurs, and a delicious lunch on the beach. I’m so grateful I found this group at exactly the right time in my journey.

  • The Babes Community events are a true sanctuary for entrepreneurs and creatives, overflowing with profound warmth and connection. Jess & Alana have an incredible gift when it comes to crafting deeply meaningful experiences with the most inspiring speakers, gorgeous meals, and beautiful surroundings. I can't recommend their events and retreats enough. I've never felt so at home, seen, and inspired as an entrepreneur.

  • Babes build community has been such a wonderful space for me to feel vulnerability, growth, connect and learn from other entrepreneurs. Every event I learn something new and get to enjoy face to face connection which I love. I highly recommend the events if you're new to business or have been in for years!

  • I’ve known Jess and Alana for a few years now, and attending my first BABES event was truly life-changing. It was hosted on a beach—relaxed, beautiful, and perfectly paired with incredible food and an inspiring speaker. Since then, I’ve been to multiple events, each one unique but always offering the same warm structure, delicious meals, and genuine connection. I’ve met so many amazing women through BABES, and I always leave feeling uplifted and inspired. I highly recommend it to any woman in business—outdoors, food, and friendship... It’s exactly what we all need. Jess and Alana have created something special.
