Have you ever wanted to gather together somewhere warm and cosy amongst some food and drinks and good company and make the most out of the evening for Christmas before truly celebrating Christmas with your loved ones? If so, this may be the right one for you. 
Welcome back to another festive Christmas get together where you have the opportunity to socialise amongst one another, purchase some food and drink (alcoholic and non alcoholic), form friendships and also not feel alone. Christmas is one of the festivals that unites people but at the same time, there are those who feel lonely out there and are not as lucky as we are. At least here, you’re not alone and hopefully, we can make this a memorable evening before Christmas Day approaches. Here is the simple itinerary: 6:30pm: Await the members outside the pub 6:50pm: Head inside, find our space and socialise as well as have any beverages they offer. After 6:50pm: Any late comers can come inside and join us. We’ll be downstairs initially and make the most out of that area before the staff escorts us upstairs. You don’t have to but if you enjoyed the event and if you want, I’m more than happy to accept optional donations. Even if you donate £1, it helps not only myself but you guys too by unlocking pathways for even more potential events and resources: https://www.paypal.me/calvinjoy

Since this is a weekly event this is a great opportunity to reconvene and share your experiences through the week! **\*\*Event Format:\*\*** This is a casual, unguided social mixer—no formal presentations or agendas.

**All I want for Christmas** is… oh no, not more Mariah again (though her track Fantasy is still a dope tune). As it's a British tradition to go for a spirited drink on the eve of Christmas magic - how about joining to sip Pinot Noir, Guinness, French Martini or other another merry beverage over fun conversations encapsulating the holiday spirit? And then, when the mood hits, singing random lines from **Fairytale of New York** just like we did **Last Christmas**? Is it Xmas numero uno yet? Apparently this year some very questionable Kylie track has taken the crown! Whilst we await the the day of the big December miracle - as well as fun conversations and jokes - one of the resident DJs (not me) will be pumping out all usual feel good tunes plus some Xmas party crackers for dancing whlst we do **another rock n roll xmas** glittery singalong - if the drinks flow endlessly, which no doubt they will....🍸🍻🍷🥂 This year we are back in the home of cool music - Camden doing the **jingle bell rock** around the Xmas tree @ the Camden Eye - a neat cosy trendy young bar tucked away 13 second walk from the dusty but ponyless road adjoining Camden Tube station, 1.6 miles from Central London. Come **Silent Night** midnight mass - the DJ will be in full musical effect droppin eurphoric bangers so if you live in North London (zone 2) or Central London then this will be perfect xmas eve drinks and music bash as you can literally walk home without having to worry about no public transport after 12am. Try to wear something chrismasie. And I'll personally buy the first mull wine infused larger-shandy for the first person that can correctly guess all of the famous xmas tunes I have referenced above!!! **\-\-\-\-Strict Attendance Limits\-\-\-** Those of you who are fellow Camden music nightlife lovers or regulars to my events, you'll know the venue is small, very selective and they have limited bar staff to work xmas eve. So if you're not confirmed, please do not turn up. I have set the RSVPs in expectation of a max 50% turnout, any more and security will stop letting people in because of capacity, and worst case we will all get thrown out to accommodate their regular locals and could get barred from my local! As always with all our events, in case of drop outs, preference will be given to my regular crew, genuine music fans and locals to the event vicinity **\-\-\-\-Directions & How To Find Us\-\-\-\-** Inside the bar, I'll be wearing customary shiny xmas tinsel. The bar is 30 seconds walk from Camden tube, 6 mins from Camden Overground station. Camden station is literally max 5 mins on the tube from all Central London tube stations e.g Leicester Square (Piccadilly line, Northern line), Piccadilly Circus (Piccadilly, Bakerloo), Oxford Circus (Bakerloo, Central, Victoria), Tottenham Court Road (Central, Northern, Elizabeth), Covent Garden (Piccadilly), Charing Cross (Northern, Bakerloo), Warren Street (Northern, Victoria), Russell Square (Piccadilly). And walkable to central London (e.g. Warren Street) is less than 30 mins. Reindeer Lucas - Ho Ho Ho

Hi everyone, We will be meeting at The European Pub (557-559 Lea Bridge Rd, London E10 7EQ). We can have a meal and drinks and then play some board games. Do feel free to bring your own board games too. So, whether you're new to the group or an old regular, don't hesitate to hit that RSVP button! Come and relive the atmosphere of warmth and friendliness that we always manage to create at our dining events! We are just regular folks who want the same thing as you - have a normal talk, stay in touch, make some new friends... The whole point of this group is to create a little island of sanity in this chaotic world. All too often, one forgets to be grateful for what one has and for the life one is allowed to lead. So let's get together and celebrate Life itself, and our little group in particular! We'll be meeting just outside. If you can't find us, please ring 07961179692.

Host: Yash \*This event is a collaboration with other groups and social networks and it will be well attended \*To attend this event you need to buy a ticket from [https://www.fatsoma.com/e/2621f3w2/end-of-year-singles-social-party-in-shoreditch-with-complimentary-drink-happy-hour-all-ages](https://www.fatsoma.com/e/2621f3w2/end-of-year-singles-social-party-in-shoreditch-with-complimentary-drink-happy-hour-all-ages) What is better way to end 2025 rather than a group of single people mixing and mingling, partying and dancing, while keeping their eyes trying to spot that special one that will make their heart jump. Whether you are looking for a partner or just to meet and connect with other people who are at the same phase of life, this is the event for you! You never know who you are going meet in this evening and that is the beauty of it! You may find a friend forever, a party buddy, a partner in crime or a partner in life!

Connect with like minded people and open your social circle, enjoy chatting about anything and everything, with those you like, for as long as you like If you find somebody who you think you have a connection with, dare to ask their contact details right then and there... like the old times ;) Oh! and you don't need to ask the awkward question: 'so are you single?' because they all will be! You are very welcome to attend alone or with friends. We will be there making introductions, helping break the ice,, and act as a glue in the group. We have a reserved area/table where we can mix and mingle, so that everybody can relax and feel comfortable and we get to know each other. and then we are going to move on the dance floor! Simmons Shoreditch is a quirky cocktail bar bringing an off- kilter addition to the streets of the East. Just off Shoreditch High Street, this gem is notorious for a late-night party or 5. Its eclectic playlist and beautifully bonkers interiors set it apart from its peers. Famed for its rogue aesthetic, it really has it all. We're not joking. Bringing a new meaning to 'Everything but the kitchen sink,' this bar even has that. Its DJ plays from a built-in Kitchen Disco. Spinning disks that span decades with a playlist that's sure to keep you on the dancefloor until the early hours. Blaring neons, skull disco balls and waltzer-style booths all add to the charm! The program of the night is as follows : 7:30pm-9pm : Singles mixing and mingling 9pm: The music goes up and it is time for dancing. Everyone arriving before 9pm receives a token for a complimentary drink ( you can choose between beer, prosecco or non alcoholic) Happy Hour till 9pm!

Join us for lunch at True Food Kitchen in Easton as we celebrate the New Year and our friendships!

Join us as we celebrate **National Spaghetti Day** with this hearty dish! Though the origins of spaghetti are disputed—whether it was Marco Polo bringing back culinary invention from the East or a home-grown Sicilian treat dating back to the 12th Century—we can all agree that a cold day with a big bowl of noodle-y, saucy goodness is balm for the soul. # Carfagnas Spaghetti and Sauce *Everybody's favorite!* Our handmade egg spaghetti topped with our homemade marinara and served with two of our famous meatballs. There are other classic spaghetti dishes on the menu, too. **Where:** We'll have tables in their beautiful upscale bar at Carfagna's Ristorante; and you need to check out everything Italian this place has to offer under one roof!! (shopping, pastry) ***Reservation for 12 under Michele Z starts at 2pm***. *Members Only. Space is limited so no guests, please.* I hope you'll join me at Carfagna's AMAZING complex on Gemini/Polaris. -Michele

The holiday season can be beautiful—but for many, Christmas Eve can also feel quiet, heavy, or lonely. At Unity of Columbus, we believe no one should feel alone during this sacred night. You are warmly invited to join us for a **Christmas Eve Celebration** filled with light, music, connection, and the true spirit of Christmas. Whether you are seeking a peaceful place to reflect, a spiritual home for the evening, or simply the company of kind-hearted people, you are welcome here.

Monday December 29th at 6PM we'll be meeting up dinner at the Pies & Pints at Easton. Feel free to bring guests. Sandwiches run about $15 and large pizzas run $20-30.
