What we’re about
Do you love Wellington? Well so do we! Let's celebrate anything and everything Wellington has to offer..... Where can you find a mix of these all in one place?
We're a chilled out group for people who love Wellington and doing things in this great city and wider region that we live in.
It's not a competition, join all the other meetup groups you like, but if you'd like to do a little bit of everything now and again, this could be the place to find it. It's all about meeting new people and trying new stuff.
Fancy doing something last minute, without thinking "oh, does it fit in this group?" Put it up here and see if anyone else wants to tag along too.
If you'd like to do it, anywhere in the Wellington Region, it belongs in Love Wellington.
There's no formal organising committee with lots of strict rules. We're all grown ups so you can post what you want to do (as long as it's legal, above board and open to everyone), just turn up (or not if you can't make it), do stuff and have some fun. Simple as.
Want to know how to get your event going with Love Wellington? Take a look at the discussion board guidance under "Want to post an event to Love Wellington? Here's how..." and away you go.
