About us
Welcome to Bants and Bash 🎉
Bants and Bash is all about real-life social experiences — fun games, cheeky competition, and good vibes. We create easy, interactive events that help people meet, connect, and actually enjoy their time out.
Whether you’re coming solo, with friends, or as part of a team, our events are designed to break the ice naturally. Most people attend alone — the games and formats do the talking for you.
Why Bants and Bash?
Because swiping is boring, forced networking is awkward, and nights out should be more than loud music and long queues. At our events, you’ll:
• Meet people you genuinely enjoy talking to
• Take part in fun, social & competitive games
• Share banter, laughs, and memorable moments
• Leave with real connections — not just photos
What kind of events do we run?

🎱 Pool & games nights
🎯 Darts tournaments
🏓 Ping pong battles
🎤 Karaoke nights
👾 Arcade & retro games
🍻 Beer pong & drinking games
🏐 Team sports & mini tournaments
🎭 Trivia & themed socials
Some events are competitive, some are chilled, most are a mix — all built around connection first.
Regular events, always something fresh
We host frequent events across Manchester and beyond, from casual socials to full-on tournaments and themed nights. Come alone or bring your crew — everyone gets involved.
Important: how to stay in the loop
Meetup is used for event listings, but our WhatsApp groups are where priority updates, early-bird tickets, and last-minute announcements are shared first.

Community vibes
We’re big on inclusivity, respect, and good energy. No drama, no negativity — just fun, friendly people and great experiences.
If you’re looking for something more interactive, social, and memorable than a standard night out, you’re in the right place.
Let’s play, compete, laugh, and connect.
See you at an event soon 😉
