What we’re about
Dated 23/02/22
After nearly 4 years this group has changed from Passionate About Travelling, Food and Events to Get A Social Life. Let's get together with like minded people who are looking to socialise and enjoy life. Enjoy fun times shared with you guys, lets connect, have great conversations, belly laughs, lets dine out, visit the theatre, attend comedy shows, go away for the weekends, long haul, coach and day trips, walks, pop up events and so much more
About travelling
Would love to meet like minded individuals who love travelling to interesting parts of the world let's get together living our dreams travelling to amazing countries, i recently returned back from South Africa in February 2018 and what an adventure, very historical, emotional and inspiring, would love to visit again one day so as to share what i experienced with those who have not been before. Please feel free to share an interest in where you would love to travel, what's on your buckets list? Am hoping to travel to various countries, overseas as well as visiting amazing gems in the UK, also look out for my day trips and possibly the odd walking trip too, would love you to join me on some exciting adventures,
I run another meetup and have been hosting and organising events and trips for the past 4 years, mostly trips in Europe but this time i want to travel further a field to Africa, Asia, North America, The Caribbean and many more. This group will cover a range of holidays from beach, luxury holiday, Spa, Adventure, Tours & Safaris, Cruises, City and Shopping breaks and more

FOOD AND EVENTS
I have just recently added food and events to this group thought it would be a great addition to have meals together and attend special events, it's not all about holidays. For dinning and some events there will be a contribution fee to the host, or how else will i be able to afford to host with you lovely lot, especially if am out every week as a host. Thanks to all who understand this, really appreciate it, i spend lots of time posting, researching and creating lovely eatery venues for you all, also running this meetup site is costly.
All meals will be paid up before we dine, as this weeds out the time wasters, who often RSVP, however have no intentions of attending. Looking forward to meeting you all xx

Happy New Year! Singles Social & Party in Shoreditch, Comp Drink ! Happy Hour!
Simmons Bar, 104-108 Curtain Rd, London EC2A 3AH, UK · London, London, GBHost: Yash
*This event is a collaboration with other groups and social networks and it will be well attended
*To attend this event you need to buy a ticket from
https://www.fatsoma.com/e/bpolisq1/happy-new-year-singles-social-party-in-shoreditch-with-complimentary-drink-happy-hour-all-ages
What is better way to start 2026 rather than a group of single people mixing and mingling, partying and dancing, while keeping their eyes trying to spot that special one that will make their heart jump.
Whether you are looking for a partner or just to meet and connect with other people who are at the same phase of life, this is the event for you!
You never know who you are going meet in this evening and that is the beauty of it! You may find a friend forever, a party buddy, a partner in crime or a partner in life!
Since this is a mix and mingle and not a speed dating there is no age
range- in a social pool everybody is welcome and you can choose to speak to whoever you fancy.
Connect with like minded people and open your social circle, enjoy
chatting about anything and everything, with those you like, for as long as you like
If you find somebody who you think you have a connection with, dare to
ask their contact details right then and there... like the old times ;)
Oh! and you don't need to ask the awkward question: 'so are you
single?' because they all will be!
You are very welcome to attend alone or with friends. We will be there
making introductions, helping break the ice,, and act as a glue in the group.
We have a reserved area/table where we can mix and mingle, so that
everybody can relax and feel comfortable and we get to know each other. and then we are going to move on the dance floor!
Simmons Shoreditch is a quirky cocktail bar bringing an off-
kilter addition to the streets of the East. Just off Shoreditch High Street, this gem is notorious for a late-night party or 5. Its eclectic playlist and beautifully bonkers interiors set it apart from its peers.
Famed for its rogue aesthetic, it really has it all. We're not joking. Bringing a new meaning to 'Everything but the kitchen sink,' this bar even has that. Its DJ plays from a built-in Kitchen Disco. Spinning disks that span decades with a playlist that's sure to keep you on the dancefloor until the early hours. Blaring neons, skull disco balls and
waltzer-style booths all add to the charm!
The program of the night is as follows :
7:30pm-9pm : Singles mixing and mingling
9pm: The music goes up and it is time for dancing.
Everyone arriving before 9pm receives a token for a complimentary
drink ( you can choose between beer, prosecco or non alcoholic)
Happy Hour till 9pm!
Dress code is smart/ elegant/ Smart Casual (smart dark jeans are fine but ripped jeans, sportswear, trainers/sportshoes and hats are not allowed).
