What we’re about
Find Friendship Here!
Chilled Out Meetups is Leeds newest group organising social events for young people. We are aimed at 18-38 year olds however we won't exclude anyone outside this age range.
Depending on demand and what our organizers want to host, we plan to host events such as socials, coffee shops, walks, nights out and days out. Our aim is to provide somewhere to make new connections and enjoy was Leeds has to offer.
ORGANISERS WANTED - Our group is co-owned equally by its organisers. Most decisions are made by organizers giving unanimous approval. If you're interested in running events let us know, no matter what type of event you want to do - remember as an organiser you decide the time, place and activity.
We are fully committed to everyone feeling safe and secure at events so there will be zero tolerance for any harassment, unwanted attention or any other disrespectful behavior. This is a space without any kind of prejudice including racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia etc. and this includes 'jokes' and 'memes', please take it elsewhere. We may organise women-only events - if this is a problem then this isn't the right group for you.
If you treat others with kindness and use some common sense you should get along fine here, but if you'd like to check our rules you can see them here:

Chilled Out Walks are social events for serious hikers and weekend strollers alike, providing casually paced walks through Leeds most beautiful spots whilst making new connections and increasing fitness. We usually meet near Leeds Rail Station for easy access from Leeds and the wider West Yorkshire area then do a walk ending back in the city centre or at a pub/cafe with public transport options back into Leeds.

13:00 is the time we will set off so please aim to arrive for 12:45 or earlier. If you are running late, let Kris know before 13:00 and we can hold the group back a few minutes. Due to members no showing in the past, if we don't see or hear from you by 13:00 we will assume you won't be attending.
Its bank holiday time again so whilst many of us are off work lets take a trip out to Leeds own 'secret beach'. Due to limited public transport services on bank holidays, we will be doing a circular route, ending where we started to make it easier for members to get a bus or train home.
We'll walk along the canal up to the marina, then take a few twists and turns until we reach the non-descript entrance to Kirkstall Nature Reserve which has been called the 'secret beach' of Leeds. This is a hidden gem with a pebble beach, waterfall and plenty of space to lounge around next to the water. We'll take at least a 15 minutes break here, though we may stay longer depending on demand.
From there we will walk up to the main road where Cardigan Fields is and there will be a chance to get drinks/snacks. We'll then make our way back to the canal via another hidden path around the side of the shopping cente, and walk back down to the train station.
The route is about 6 miles each way so you can cut that in half if you'd rather take public transport back into Leeds. The section approaching the nature reserve may be muddy depending on the weather, so it would be a good idea to bring boots, especially if there's been some recent rain.This event is weather dependent and we may change the start time or push it back to a later date if bad weather is expected. Check back here before setting off.

We don't charge for events but running a Meetup group is quite expensive. If you can spare anything then buy an optional ticket at a price you choose by clicking this link to Eventbrite. Again, this is fully optional and all you need to do to be able to attend is RSVP to this event.
