1516 SUPPER CLUB | DINNERS

Every single one felt like being invited into someone's home — because that's exactly what Supper club does. They cook, they gather, they create a table worth sitting at. We've loved every collaboration, and so have the girls.

ASTORIA | RESTAURANT

From Christmas dinner to a slow lunch in the garden, Astória has hosted us across seasons and every time feels special. It's a beautiful space in the heart of Porto, and their team has always gone above and beyond to make our events feel exactly right.

CALMA COFFEE | COFFEE SHOP

Our crochet workshop found its perfect home at Calma Coffee — cozy, unhurried, and with coffee that actually lives up to the name. The combination of crafting and a great flat white is, it turns out, unbeatable.

GATHER | BRUNCH

Gather is the kind of place that just gets it — good food, a relaxed setting, and a team that made us feel completely at home. We hosted two very different events here, a book swap and a plants workshop, and both times the space just worked. We keep coming back for a reason.

ELEVEN LAB | CAFE

Eleven Lab has become a proper staple for us. Beautiful food, a welcoming space, and the kind of setting that makes a slow morning stretch into an afternoon without anyone noticing, that’s why we hosted our three events.

ALICE IN BREWLAND | BRUNCH

Brunches, a vision board session, and a pumpkin painting afternoon — Alice in Brewland has been a flexible and welcoming host across very different events. A great space with good food and an even better vibe.

SOJU POCHA | KOREAN CAFE

Soju Pocha hosted us for a Korean dinner and it delivered on every level — the food, the setting, and the kind of cozy, convivial atmosphere that made the evening feel like a real cultural night out.

COMBI COFFEE ROASTERS | CAFE

A coffee workshop at an actual coffee shop — Combi took us behind the bar and walked us through the craft. It was one of those events that makes you appreciate your morning cup a whole lot more.

GLAD | COFFEE & CHOCOLATE SHOP

A chocolate workshop in a chocolate shop — the girls were obsessed. Glad hosted us for a hands-on afternoon of all things cocoa, and between the making and the tasting, it's safe to say nobody left disappointed.

WORKIN | COWORKING

Workin isn't just a coworking space — it's a genuinely beautiful place to gather. We've hosted two very different workshops here, candle making and dumplings, and the space elevated both. The kind of venue that makes any event feel considered.

VERTICAL COWORKING | COWORKING

We've used Vertical as both a creative studio and a community hub — hosting a bottle painting workshop and a coworking day complete with a morning pilates session. A versatile, welcoming space that's become a real favourite.

ACTION PAINTING | ART STUDIO

Freestyle painting, no rules, no judgment — just the girls, a canvas, and whatever comes out. Action Painting is genuinely one of the most fun and freeing experiences we've hosted, and the artwork the girls created was something else.

FLOR DOSSOLL | FLORIST

We spent two beautiful sessions learning how to work with plants — first building bouquets from scratch, then getting our hands into more botanical. She guided us through every snip and arrangement with warmth and patience, and every girl left holding something she was genuinely proud of.

VOYANT | YACHT

We took to the Douro on a yacht — and yes, it was as good as it sounds. Voyant gave us an afternoon on the water, sailing past Porto's skyline with the sun doing its best and the girls doing what they do best: enjoying every second of it.

LAB BOA | CERAMICS STUDIO

Two ceramic workshops with Kate from Lab Boa, and the girls walked away with pieces they actually made with their own hands. Lab Boa creates a space where learning feels relaxed, and the process is as enjoyable as the result, definitely one of the coolest places!

CHRISTIAN KESSLER | CERAMICS STUDIO

We hosted two workshops, where girls created mugs and plates while enjoying a creative afternoon together. Christian was incredibly supportive, always helping and making sure everyone left happy with their final piece. We loved collaborating & can't wait to return in the future.

RITMOS DANCE STUDIO | DANCE STUDIO

Brunches, a vision board session, and a pumpkin painting afternoon — Alice in Brewland has been a flexible and welcoming host across very different events. A great space with good food and an even better vibe.

FINO GOLF CLUB | VIRTUAL GOLF CLUB

We hosted our Halloween party at Fino Club, and a virtual golf club turned out to be the most unexpectedly perfect venue for a costume party. Great space, great energy, great excuse to dress up.

PLENA | PILATES STUDIO

Six sessions of pilates and barre with Plena — and the girls kept coming back, which really says it all. Plena brings the kind of energy that makes you actually enjoy working hard, and we've loved having them as a recurring part of our lineup.

OM ACADEMY & MIND SPA | STUDIO

Three yoga and wellness events with OM Academy, and every single one left the girls feeling genuinely restored. The space is calm, the sessions are thoughtful, and it's exactly the kind of balance our community needs.

VELLEY | CLOTHES PADDLE BRAND

We took to the court with Velley for an afternoon of paddle — and having a clothing brand that actually lives and breathes the sport made it that much more fun. Great energy on and off the court, and the girls were obsessed with the brand.

PRESCRIPTION | PILATES STUDIO

We rolled out the reformers and the girls got properly put to work — in the best way. Prescription took us through a session that was equal parts challenging and addictive, and more than a few girls left already wanting to book their next one.

OH! MY SNACKS | SNACK BRAND

When we hit the paddle courts, Oh! My Snacks had our backs. They supported our paddle event with their snacks and it was the kind of thoughtful touch that makes an outdoor event feel complete.

COOKIE CLUB | COOKIES STORE

Coockies showed up for our yacht event with the sweetest support — literally. Their cookies were the perfect on-board treat and the girls were very much into it. A delicious collab.

ROLLER MASSAGE | MASSAGE STUDIO

Roller Massage partnered with us to give the girls something to look forward to after all that movement — a certificate to come in and properly recover. The kind of sponsor collab that actually makes sense.

FUNQ | NATURAL WINE BAR

Natural Wine Bar Two afterwork drinks in a natural wine bar — honestly, the perfect combination. Funqwine brought the bottles and the atmosphere, and the girls brought the conversation. We'd go back tomorrow.

RUBIROSSA | SPORT BAR

We brought our Sip & Connect event to Rubirossa, and it couldn't have been a better fit. A lively sports bar with great energy and an even better crowd — it turned into one of those evenings where conversations just kept going, and nobody really wanted to leave.

MADAME TRAVESSA | BAR

We hosted 6 afterwork drinks and counting at Madame Travessa and it has been a reliable, beautiful backdrop for those mid-week wind-downs where you just need a glass of something good and a familiar face across the table.

SOFIA | YOGA TEACHER

We rolled out our mats with Sofia for a yoga session that was calm, grounding, and exactly what the girls needed. Sofia has a natural way of making everyone feel comfortable, whether you're a regular or stepping onto a mat for the first time.

EMILY | YOGA & MINDMFULNESS

A beautiful yoga session, this time with Emily leading the way. Her energy is warm and encouraging, and the girls left feeling genuinely restored — the kind of class you think about for days after.

MAGGIE | BREATH & SOMATIC BODY

Maggie guided us through a breathwork session that took everyone by surprise — in the best way. It's one of those experiences that's hard to describe until you've done it, and the girls came out of it feeling lighter, clearer, and a little bit amazed.

Screenshot 2026-05-31 at 13.49.48.png

ADELE | CROCHET & KNIT

Adele sat with us, handed out hooks and yarn, and patiently walked the girls through every stitch — the fumbles, the unravelling, and the quiet satisfaction of finally getting it right. A lovely afternoon of learning something with your hands, guided by someone who genuinely loves what she teaches.

0 IS A NEW 1 | UPCYCLED CLOSING

We teamed up with Zero to give our wardrobes a refresh the conscious way — recycling and swapping clothes instead of buying new. A fun, feel-good event that gave pieces a second life and the girls a reason to dig out everything they'd been meaning to let go of.

IMG_3852.heic

CAROLINA | WELLBEING

Carolina hosted us for a wellness morning that covered everything the mind and body needed — a slow, intentional start to the day with the right person leading it. Exactly the kind of morning that sets the tone for the whole week.
