Introducing the FOUNDERS playground

A playground is a place to experiment, take risks, create, and connect. The Founders Playground is the same, a space where founders test ideas, innovate boldly and collaborate freely.

Across the site you’ll find two main stages (indoor and outdoor), a community tent packed with talks and networking, hands-on workshops led by some of the most exciting companies, and a constant stream of strange, wonderful and unexpected experiences popping up where you least expect them.

It exists for one simple mission: to make the South West a destination for innovation and creativity and to showcase the incredible founders shaping our region and beyond, in a way that feels bold, fun and genuinely different.

This isn’t another conference or festival.

This is a playground that actually accelerates ideas in real time. Founders can experiment without fear, without judgement and turn ideas into reality.

The Founders Playground brings founders, creatives, entrepreneurs and communities together in one playful, high-energy space!
