Summer Celebration

Join us for an evening celebrating the ambitious women building businesses and communities across the Cotswolds.

📅 9 July 2026
🕕 6:00pm – 9:30pm
📍 MRDS Limited, Inchbrook Trading Estate, Woodchester, Stroud, Gloucestershire

This year’s Summer Party will take place in a truly remarkable location, at MRDS Ltd., which is the successful business of Foundry member Margaret Reid. During the Second World War, the site played its own role in Britain’s war effort as a munitions factory, where women were instrumental in keeping vital defence industries operating while many men served on the front line.

We’re proud to celebrate our community in a building with such strong ties to female leadership, resilience and contribution. To mark this sentiment, Margaret has created vision boards for the members to add our achievements and goals for the future, and share on the night to celebrate.

We’re also delighted that Jessica Reid, founder of private chef company Damson and Clover will be serving us a delicious dinner and canapés.

We’ll be raising a glass with wines from our partners, the award-winning Cotswold vineyard,  Woodchester Valley Vineyard.

Members and guests of members are warmly welcome. Tickets are free to members, and a small fee for guests. This includes drinks on arrival, canapés and evening meal.
