London 20 & 30s Community | The Great Friendship Project

We don’t do boring Wednesdays and so this week, we’re hugely excited to be hosting our latest sports & fitness social to spice up your midweek.

Yep that’s right - for this latest social, we’re excited to be heading back to Rise Climbing, near Canning Town for our latest Social Bouldering Night, exclusively for 20s and 30s.

If you’ve never been bouldering before, it’s perhaps the most social form of free climbing and one of the fastest growing sports in the world.

Unlike other forms of rock climbing, bouldering is free from ropes and harnesses and instead offers soft, safety mats and low walls to encourage climbers to explore their physical limits in a safe environment.

But it’s not just a great work out for your body, the venue offers a range of wall challenges of varying design and difficulty that will test your problem solving skills, as well as your creativity, technique and balance.

And it is the challenge element that makes bouldering one of the social sports around at present, as it is great spark for conversation in your shared attempts to take on the range of climbing routes on together.

Best of all, we’ve been able to organise this bouldering session, along with shoe hire and a free induction, all for just 10.95pp!

And after the bouldering, they'll be an option to head to a nearby pub so you can get a drink, share experience and get to know your fellow climbers a little better.

It should be a really enjoyable night and we'd love to see lots of you there but sadly, these places are very limited and so we will be offered on a first come, first serve basis.

And so if you are keen to join, please do RSVP as soon as you can!

WHERE/WHEN WE WILL MEET

Venue - Rise Climbing, Unit 6, Caxton Works, Hoy St, London E16 1ZA

On Friday 24th October, we’re really excited to be heading back to the Tate Modern for our latest fast-paced, Photo Scavenger Hunt.

Yep every Friday, one of London’s most iconic galleries stays open late, inviting visitors to explore its treasures after hours.

However, rather than simply enjoying the wonders of the art on display, to spice up our visit, we've organised one of our famous Gallery-wide team photo hunts.

If you've not been to one of these before, our photo hunts are a unique mix of a fast-paced Scavenger Hunt and Where’s Wally?, set in one of the world’s most famous galleries.

We’ve curated a fresh selection of intriguing background characters, unusual objects and eye-catching snippets in the paintings across the gallery and your team’s mission is to locate as many of them as you can within the allotted time.

To help you find them, you’ll be armed with clues and photo hints, but they are designed to be easy to miss - so you’ll need to keep your wits about you and your eyes peeled.

And that’s not all - there’ll also be extra creative challenges along the way, giving your team the chance to bag valuable bonus points.

The team with the most points by the end of the night will be crowned the winners, with some great prizes up for grabs.

And once the hunt wraps up, we’ll head back to the pub to grab a drink, crown the winners and hand out the prizes.

We'll also then be keeping the fun going, by getting out our huge collection of board games for you to enjoy with your new friends!

It should be a great night but places are limited and so if you would like to join us for this, please RSVP as soon as possible!

WHERE/WHEN

On Sunday 26th October, we're hugely excited to be hosting our latest FREE Board Games Afternoon, exclusively for 20s and 30s.

Yep, that's right - we're back and as always, we've booked out a big private space in central London and we’ve got a fantastic collection of some of the most popular games that you’ll be able to choose from.

From classics like Exploding Kittens and Uno, social deduction games like Secret Hitler and Werewolf, to party games like Codenames and Chameleon, you’re sure to find something you’ll love.

On top of this, you're also welcome to bring your own games that you love or have been excited to play with a group, providing they are short, easy to learn and accessible games.

Best of all, over the course of the afternoon, you'll be able to mix around, meet lots of other 20s and 30s whilst playing a range of different games.

So if you're looking to play some games, meet new people, and have a laugh then we'd love to have you join us for this.

WHERE/WHEN

It's that time of year! Spooky season has arrived and to celebrate, we're excited to be hosting our annual Pumpkin Carving Night, exclusively for 20s and 30s.

For this, we've gone and reserved a private area near Knightsbridge, so we can get into the Halloween spirit with some fun and festive crafting.

To help you, we will be providing a range of tools, candles, sharpies, spoons and all the other bits needed for a fun-filled evening of pumpkin carving.

All you need to bring is your Pumpkin of Choice and plenty of creative inspiration.

And when you're finished with your pumpkin, you'll also have the option to decorate and decoupage your very own Halloween mask.

Once the crafts are done and your creations are complete, we’ll then clear the space to make room for more socialising.

No prior pumpkin carving experience is necessary and so whether you're a seasoned pro or a complete beginner, come join us for a night of creative Halloween fun!
