About us
About us Childfree in Reading is a social community for adults in and around Reading who don't have children — by choice or by circumstance. Members are looking to connect with others in a similar place in life. We organise relaxed, platonic social meetups including coffees, pub nights, walks, games, meals, and occasional events. The focus is on connection, conversation, and building a welcoming community — without assumptions, pressure, or a "dating" vibe. The group is community-led, inclusive, and intentionally relaxed.
New and feeling unsure? Most people come to their first meetup on their own, and nearly everyone here did exactly that. Coffee meetups and walks are the easiest ones to start with — they're daytime, casual, and easy to leave when you like.
Your host's name is on every event listing, so message them beforehand and they'll look out for you when you arrive. The same goes if your plans change: hosts plan around RSVPs and sometimes prepay tickets, so please let them know. Repeated no-shows without notice lead to removal from the group.
Whether you're new to the area or have lived here for years, we're about making it easier to meet people and make plans — without needing a babysitter.
