Industry Weekend 2026

We're super excited to announce the Hustle Industry Weekend in collaboration with Ladies Music Pub. Throughout the weekend we'll be covering a broad scope of topics such as the importance of DIY community building, how to protect and maintain your well-being in the industry, creating on a budget, 1-2-1 upskilling sessions, accessing BTS roles, funding support and much, much more!

This weekend is perfect for aspiring artists and industry professionals looking to hustle and make connections. Get ready to learn new tips, connect and help shape ideas that will feed into creating what's next for Nottingham's creative scene beyond the Industry Weekend!

Hockley Hustle Industry Day is back for 2026 — but this time, we're going for the full weekend.

Saturday 21st and Sunday 22nd March at Fishergate Point. In collaboration with Ladies Music Pub, we're welcoming you for two days of panels, workshops, 1-2-1s, networking and special guests from the creative industry!

Throughout the weekend, we'll cover a range of topics like radio, streaming, publishing and sync, funding, bookings and curation, care and wellbeing and plenty more. We'll hear from established artists about their careers and industry journeys and you'll have the opportunity to book 1-on-1 sessions with some very helpful people!
