What does WEB - Wheathampstead Business Trade Association - do?
Supporting local enterprises and the community
We support local people running local businesses. One of the ways we do this is getting involved in village activities throughout the year.
This includes Wheathampstead Village Day, Small Business Saturday, Christmas Lights Up and various other events. Details of these events can be found on Wheathampstead Parish Council website. We love to support local businesses, and our local community.
If you’re organising something locally, please get in touch with WEB. We’d love to discover new ways of supporting Wheathampstead village.
We also run the Billy The Bee Buy It Locally scheme. Please click here for more information.
Regular meetings and events
We hold regular meetings and everyone is welcome to attend these.
Every month the following meetings take place:
The Turntable – Our committee meeting, every third Tuesday evening of each month at 19.30 at the offices of Lamburn & Turner, 3 Place Farm, Wheathampstead AL4 8SB. You’ll find a warm welcome and a receptive, pro-active and supportive bunch of people.
This is the meeting where the ‘movers and shakers’ of WEB discuss and plan the activities of WEB.
Breakfast networking
Breakfast networking happens on the last Friday morning of each month at The Elephant & Castle from 8.00am to-9.15am.
This is an excellent opportunity to market your business locally and meet new people.
A very reasonable fee is asked for these to cover the venue costs with the added bonus of a delicious tea/coffee and a delicious bacon buttie provided by our local baker Loafing.
Premium and Standard Members: £5, WOW Members and non-members £10.

This is another opportunity for you to connect with other local businesses and to market your own business.
We select speakers to talk about various topics supporting businesses at each of the monthly lunchtime networking events (10 min talks). A great opportunity to learn something new while networking.
A very reasonable fee is asked for these to cover the venue costs with the added bonus of a tasty lunch.
