London 20 & 30s Community | The Great Friendship Project

Back by popular demand - on 15th May, we’ll be kicking off your weekend with our latest Friday Night Bowling Social 🎳

Yep that's right... we'll be heading back to one of the best value activities in the whole of London, Duckpin Bowling at Brewdog in Waterloo for another evening of bowling and social drinks.

If you've never heard of Duckpin Bowling, it is a variant of traditional bowling that's seen incredible growth of popularity over the last few years.

The rules of the game are very similar to standard bowling, with bowlers trying to knock down pins in the fewest rolls over 10 frames.

However, with lighter balls, shorter lanes and smaller pins, with Duckpin Bowling you'll need even more precision and skill to get a strike.

Best of all, it is one of the cheapest Bowling experiences in the whole of London at just £8.35pp ❤️

Places are limited though and will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis and so if you would like to join us for this, do RSVP as soon as possible!

WHERE/WHEN

To start the night, we will be meeting nearby at the Thirsty Bear pub in Waterloo at 7:30pm to give you a chance to meet and with your fellow bowlers.

However, we'd kindly ask that you arrive no later than 8:10pm, so that we can head over together in time for the experience.

It's back! On Sunday 17th May, 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 Codenames, social deduction games like Chameleon and Avalon, to party games like Dixit and Wavelength, 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 friendly 20s and 30s - whilst playing a range of games from our collection.

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.

JOIN THE COMMUNITY

Set up in November 2021, the project was set up to help Londoners in their 20s and 30s meet, connect and hopefully build lifelong friendships.

To help make this happen, we also host all kinds of events from free social walks, games evenings, day trips, social events, activity nights to picnics.

To learn more about our community, follow us on social media or buy us a coffee, please follow one of the links below.

We don’t do boring Wednesdays... and so on 20th May, to spice up your midweek, we’ve lined up another of London's best activities.

Yep that's right - we'll be heading to one of the most popular activity bars in the city, Electric Shuffle in Kings Cross.

To kick off the night, we've booked out a space beforehand where you can have some social drinks, meet people, and connect with your fellow 20s and 30s ahead of the main event.

If you've never been to Electric Shuffle before, they've reimagined the classic pub game of shuffleboard and brought it into the 21st century with cutting edge vision technology and automatic scoring.

The technology adds a whole new dimension to the game, with a range of fast, competitive multi-player modes designed to get everyone involved.

From “Territory”, "Eclipse" to “Amplifier”, over the course of the evening we'll be putting our shuffleboard skills to the test against one another.

Best of all, whilst these nights would typically cost £17pp, we've secured an exclusive discount - so this whole night is just £7.50!

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’ve booked out tables at a nearby pub beforehand from 7:30pm, if you want to grab a drink before the experience.

However, we'd kindly ask that you look to arrive no later than 8pm, so we can head over to the venue and start the experience on time.

On Friday 22nd May, we're really excited to kick off a weekend with something a little different... our latest Live Comedy Night.

And this time we’re heading to the Big Belly Comedy Club on the Southbank for an evening of laughter and great company.

We’ll start things off at a nearby pub for relaxed social drinks, so you can meet your fellow 20s and 30s, before heading over together to the show.

We'll then be heading to one of their flagship Friday Night Comedy Nights, featuring some of the best rising comedians in London.

Over the evening, you'll get to enjoy 5 comedians - each of which will be delivering some of their sharpest material and best loved routines to get you laughing.

And best of all, whilst tickets are going for around £20 - we’ve bagged an exclusive deal, so you can join us for just £6.50pp!

But spaces are very limited, and so do grab your spot as soon as you can - before they go!
