Emily Shimwell
Founder - Dine Wilder / Emily Wilder
Emily Shimwell is a Yorkshire-born storyteller, experience designer and lifelong connector. Founder of Dine Wilder and Emily Wilder, ventures rooted in community, connection and the power of bringing people together.
She’s not just designing tablescapes - she’s designing feeling. The kind that lingers long after the event ends.
Emily believes magic happens when you put yourself in the room. She’s been in them all - pulling from the best of each space, each experience, each conversation - and turning it into something entirely new.
For her, it’s about moments, stories and connections that shift something in you. Her favourite book is, of course, Unreasonable Hospitality.
“You won’t change your life working from home or sat on the couch. You change it in the discomfort - outside your comfort zone, meeting new people, putting yourself in the rooms that stretch you.”
Choose a ticket for one event, or make a full day of it and attend both!
