What is the Gloucester Cathedral networking breakfast?

The series follows a pilot event in March 2026, which brought more than 100 businesses from across the county through the Cathedral’s doors.

After that response, Gloucester Cathedral and WSP Solicitors, its corporate partner, are making the breakfast a regular fixture, held five times a year.

The January breakfast will offer an opportunity for business networking in Gloucester, giving local professionals an informal morning to meet, share ideas and make new contacts. Guests will also hear from local charities and community organisations about the work they do across the region.

Why is Gloucester Cathedral hosting a quarterly networking series?

The Very Reverend Andrew Zihni, Dean of Gloucester, said:

“We are delighted to be continuing our partnership with WSP Solicitors with a series of five networking breakfasts, building on the success of our first event earlier this year.

“As part of our Christian mission and true to our Benedictine heritage, Gloucester Cathedral has always been a place where people come together. The breakfasts are a wonderful opportunity to strengthen connections across our local business community. We are particularly pleased to be creating opportunities for local charities and community organisations to share their work, build new relationships and explore ways of working together.

“We look forward to welcoming both familiar and new faces to the Cathedral throughout the series.”

Silas Miller, Board Director and Head of Marketing and Business Development at WSP Solicitors, explains:

“Gloucestershire has a strong business community, but it’s easy to stay in your own corner of it. The breakfast brings together people from different sectors who might not otherwise meet, and holding it every quarter means those conversations can carry on from one event to the next.”

Which charity is involved in the first networking breakfast?

Cheltenham and Gloucester Hospitals Charity will be the first charity supported through the new series.

Karen Organ, Partnership Manager at the charity, says:

“It is so important for charities to have the opportunity to engage in the local business community and we are sincerely appreciative and look forward to joining businesses at the historic Gloucester Cathedral.”

Where will the networking breakfast take place?

The Gloucester Cathedral networking breakfast will take place in the Chapter House.

The Chapter House sits off the Cathedral’s Cloister and was once where the monks who lived at the Cathedral gathered to meet.
