London 20 & 30s Community | The Great Friendship Project

We don’t do boring Wednesdays - so to brighten up your midweek, on 10th September we’re hugely excited to be hosting our latest Drink & Do Crafts Night!

Once again, we’ll be getting our creative juices flowing in Knightsbridge with an evening of crafts and social drinks, exclusively for people in their 20s and 30s.

With summer fast approaching its end, our theme this time is “Autumn Magic” - a cosy night of seasonal crafts to welcome the new season.

We’ll provide all the paints, brushes, and materials you need to create your own autumnal masterpiece - whether it’s falling golden leaves, a harvest meadow at sunset, or something a little spookier ahead of Halloween.

You’ll also get the chance to try out air-dry clay sculpting - a fun and fast-drying material that’s perfect for making autumn ornaments, keepsakes, or small handmade gifts like maple leaf trinket dishes, acorn bowls, or mini pumpkin candle holders.

Once your creations are complete, we’ll clear the tables so you can unwind, enjoy a drink, and share your pieces with your fellow artists.

And best of all, while painting and craft nights can often cost £40 or more, this whole evening of creativity and connection is just £4.95!

So if you’re up for a creative midweek escape, come join us for an evening of art, fun, and great company.

WHERE/WHEN

On Friday 12th September, The Mayor's Community Weekend returns - a city-wide celebration bringing communities together to share everything that makes London special.

And to celebrate, we’re kicking things off with a special evening dedicated to building new friendships - a night of games, laughter, and new connections.

Over the course of the night, you’ll dive into a series of group speed-friending games, creative challenges, and quirky activities designed to get you laughing, thinking, and working together in unexpected ways.

Each round lasts around 15–20 minutes, and after every one, half the group will rotate - giving you the chance to meet loads of new people and discover the ones you really click with.

To add a little friendly competition, your team will rack up points quiz-style as you go, with prizes up for grabs for the highest-scoring team by the end of the night.

It’s set to be a brilliant evening of games, connections, and social fun - so come along, join in, and help us celebrate in style.

WHERE/WHEN

As part of the Mayor of London's Community Weekend celebrations, we're making the most of the sunshine with one of our final summer walks of the year.

Yep and for this latest free Sunday walk, we’ll be heading back to one of the most popular hiking spots in the capital, Hampstead Heath in North London.

As always before heading off on the hike, you'll be allocated a group/team for an initial mix of fun and light-hearted games, designed to help you break the ice and get to know your fellow walkers a little better.

After the games and everyone is warmed up for walk, we’ll then set off on our 2-3 hour hike across the heath.

Along the way, we will wander past the stately home, Kenwood House and the famous Parliament Hill viewing point overlooking London.

We will then ramble through the stunning ancient woodland, Highgate Wood before finally before ending up at a pub in Muswell Hill, where you'll be able to relax, have a drink and chat with those you've met on the walk.

WHERE/WHEN WE WILL MEET

On Wednesday 17th September, we're excited to be hosting our latest FREE Board Games Night, 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 evening, 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.
