Will there be anything available after the talks at The Familymakers Show Newcastle?
Yes! There will be a Networking Drinks following the day where you can connect and chat with other people who are on similar paths to you. This will run from 4 pm – 5 pm.
You can also secure a FREE ticket to see the show Shuggy Boats at the Live Theatre in the evening. When registering your ticket, make sure to select the option with the Theatre Show included.
Shuggy Boats, a comedy, tells the story of Maeve, who comes out, aged 60, in order to live her most authentic life. Her shock action spurs others to come out in their own ways. Her husband “comes out” as a closet intellectual, their son “comes out” as a romantic, her sister “comes out” of her relentless grief and her niece “comes out” to embrace life as a single mother.
Who will I be able to meet at The Familymakers Show Newcastle?
There will be a number of exhibitors available to chat to outside of the main talks. These include: London Women’s Clinic, Kind iVF, LWC Egg Freezing, London Sperm Bank and London Egg Bank.
