Great Stories + Fantastic Causes

SpeakerNet is your index to great UK public speakers

Tasked with the problem of finding a speaker or entertainment for an upcoming meeting or event? SpeakerNet is here to help. With our index of UK wide speakers, both charitable and paid, plus all kinds of after-dinner entertainers, you are sure to find someone to fit the bill.

Our filters and search tools make it easy for speaker-finders to engage just the right person for their next event.

SpeakerNet is not an agent. We are an introduction service. Once you are in communications with a speaker or entertainer all the arrangements are between you. All we ask is that you report back your experience to help others in the future

All sorts of clubs and associations can use SpeakerNet; U3A, Rotary, Inner Wheel, 41 Club, Womens Institute etc.

Our listed public speakers cover a wide range of topics such as History, Sport, Life Skills, Science, Hobbies and Travel. Some of our speakers charge a fee, some just expenses and some would like support for their Charities

SpeakerNet is free to use, however you may come across the occasional advert. In addition, some speakers pay a little extra to bring their listing to your attention.

Kind Words

A big thank you to SpeakerNet. What a great service for speakers. I always recommend this website to speaker secretaries when I give talks around the country. If my fellow speakers do the same, it will be in all our interests. I can't thank SpeakerNet enough. A brilliant service! Graham Short

In my experience SpeakerNet.co.uk is the one site for speakers and groups that really works! It is easy to use and opens up an Aladdin’s cave of entertaining and informative talks for anyone faced with the increasingly onerous task of speakers. I have gained several bookings via the site and made many new friends in groups across the country. Nick Dobson

We've been advertising our talks/presentations with you for the last 5 years or so. We've had so many enquiries via your excellent site, that with recommendations as well, our diary fills very quickly. To anyone thinking of publicising their talks or needing one SpeakerNet is the site you will need. Brian and Jacqueline Sutton

Speakernet is an amazing resource for organisations looking for speakers. Over the last few years, I've had some fabulous engagements speaking to literary societies, universities, inner wheel districts, WI and U3A groups as well as many independent organisations. It's been so rewarding. Thank you. Helen Astrid

I have quite easily recruited twenty-five speakers for our [Knaresborough & District Men’s Forum] 2026-2027 season. Many, the better part of two thirds I should say, through your excellent website. Many thanks, and keep up the good work. Peter.

Thanks to Speakernet my part-tine hobby of researching and giving talks has turned into almost a full-time occupation. Local synagogue, church and so many other groups have discovered this Aladdin's lamp of speakers. Judy Karbritz

I just wanted to say how very useful the site has been, I have had over 160 enquiries directly and of course many others as a result of talks I have given in response to those enquiries. Thank you for all the hard work that you have put in to make the site so user friendly for speakers. Putting a new talk on or editing an existing entry has been so easy. So thank you once again and I hope the site continues to have the success it so richly deserves.

Both Dr Ann Featherstone and Andrea Tse presented really fascinating talks to our group and as a result they are coming again to speak on a different subject. Thank you to SpeakerNet.

What a great resource the SpeakerNet website is for both speakers and speaker finders. As a speaker I have had some really interesting engagements via the site. I would certainly recommend it as a place to be listed. Sandy Leong

SpeakerNet has been of the primary sources of my many talk bookings and by far the best publicity online platform through which to advertise talks. I strongly recommend it for both speakers and speaker secretaries. Mark Lewis

SpeakerNet has emerged as an indispensable platform for both speakers and groups seeking engaging presentations. I have found it to be really effective in promoting my talks and securing bookings. Groups appreciate the ease of finding suitable talent. Among other speakers on here I enthusiastically recommend SpeakerNet for its ability to connect speakers with diverse audiences and foster meaningful engagements. The site's user-friendly interface, comprehensive speaker profiles, and free membership make it a standout resource for anyone involved in the world of public speaking, Ian K Davidson

Thank you SpeakerNet and thank you for all you do. I've had nearly 50 talk enquiries via SpeakerNet since 2020. Keep up the great work! David Ramsden MBE

The last two enquiries has led to two confirmed talks bookings for next year. Once again, thank you, for your splendid site. The talks I give have been very successful with many repeat bookings. The research for the talks takes me to all sorts of places and the people I meet there plus the audience members at my presentations certainly enrich my life. Mrs Frances Raftery

I just wanted to say thankyou for making the connection of speakers to events possible. I’ve had several enquiries already and now have a couple of firm opportunities booked into my diary – all as a direct result of Speakernet!
