Welcome to the Bristol & Gloucestershire 40+ Social Group!

Hi there, and a big warm welcome! We’re glad you’ve joined our friendly community for over-40s who enjoy meeting new people, trying new things, and sharing good times around Bristol, Gloucestershire and beyond.

Whether you're into casual pub nights, scenic walks, days out, or fun activities, there’s something here for everyone — and new ideas are always welcome!

A quick heads-up: Meetup charges us a subscription fee to keep the group running, which is paid in February and August each year. To help cover these costs, we’ve set up a Tide donation link to our Meetup Bank Account (link in the discussion post re fees or about section). If you enjoy being part of the group, any contribution, big or small, would be appreciated and will help keep things going.

Coming along and taking part is what matters most, but if you’d like some extra guidance, this guide will help you feel right at home.
