The Rise of the Northern Blogger

the rise of the northern bloggers

The north of England has always been a little behind when it comes to health and wellness trends and ideas. We are at least 3-4 years behind London and some of the south when it comes to anything health and wellness related.
As many of you will know I am huge supporter of health, wellness and fitness; especially when things appear in the north where I live.

I want to focus on a certain aspect of trends in this little blog post of mine; health, wellness and blogger events. London has it's fair share of events and meet-ups for bloggers/influencers and anyone in the health and fitness industry, and has done for YEARS,. But only recently has this started to become a thing in the north of England. In the last year we have seen a huge rise in northern bloggers, influencers and people diving into the health and fitness industry; whether that be personal trainers, yoga instructors, nutritionists or just people who are really into it and use the huge platform of the internet to share their thoughts and feelings via a blog. With this has come a demand for more events, like the ones in London, to bring people in the industry together to meet, chat and get to know one another.

In this blog I want to share with you the event companies that I have come across in the last year or so and what kind of events they host and the areas they cover.

HBC yorkshire

The Health Bloggers Community is a London based company that provides inspiration, motivations and tools to bloggers and influencers all over the world. Founded by Fab Giovanetti, the HBC also host events for people on the health and wellness industry to bring them together, network and discover the latest trends, tools and techniques in the business. The HBC has expanded to a few other places in the UK via bloggers and influencers becoming ambassadors for the company and bringing these events to different areas. Yup, that includes Yorkshire thanks to your truly and my partner in crime Elle of Enlivening Elle.
We cover the 3 main places in Yorkshire with our events; York, Harrogate and Leeds. We host events for all in the health and wellness industry with fitness events, networking events, workshops, talks and studio takeover events to name a few. Our aim is to create a badass community of Yorkshire bloggers and influencers!
If you want to keep up to date with our events then follow us on Instagram here.

Harrogate tribe

Harrogate Tribe are, you guessed it, a Harrogate based event company. I have been lucky enough to have been invited to and attended their last Blogger Breakfast event and it was really lovely! Harrogate Tribe doesn't focus on any real niche and just brings together bloggers from the local area to get to meet new people and network with bloggers of different backgrounds, niches and interests. The last event had a real variety of people from parenting bloggers to food and drink vloggers; it really has everything!

we blog north

We Blog North are a Manchester based collective of bloggers, vloggers and influencers that bring content creators together. We Blog is founded by Holly Wood, a blogger, who wanted to bring bloggers and influencers together to network, inspire and educate each other. Holly has now expanded We Blog North to bring us We Blog UK and also The Northern Blog Awards that celebrates the northern community of bloggers.
We Blog host networking events, meet-ups and also workshops to help northern content creators move to the next step in their careers.

yorks insta meet

Yorks Insta Meet is an instagram page dedicated to bringing creatives and Yorkshire small business owners together for regular meet-ups. This company brings together is perfect for meeting like-minded people, fellow small business owners and building a network to advise, motivate and inspire.

I haven't m managed to attend a Yorks Insta Meet as of yet but from what I've heard they are wonderful events and attract a lot of Yorkshire small business owners.

flourish events co.

Flourish Events Co., a little like HBC Yorkshire noticed the gap in the market with regards to health and wellness events in the north of England. Flourish is an events company aimed at women to give them the opportunity to attend inspiring events lead by leading experts and health professionals in the industry. Flourish hosts casual monthly meet-ups both in Leeds and Derby and also hosts panel-style events, workshops and supper clubs.

All of the above companies offer something a little different to the bloggers and influencers of the north of England and about time too! We all love to collaborate, meet new people and network and this is finally becoming possible for the northern community too.
