About us

Friend of Dorothy is a community built to help gay men connect in real life.

We started Friend of Dorothy because while apps make it easy to meet for a hookup, they don’t always make it easy to meet new friends, try new experiences, or build real connections.
So we created a space for gay men to come together through fun, relaxed events across London.

Our events range from social and creative meetups to active experiences and unique nights out, including:
• Fitness classes and group workouts
• Pottery and creative workshops
• Board games and social evenings
• Dog walks and outdoor meetups
• Wellness and community events
• Special guest talks and experiences

Some events are energetic, some are chilled, but they all have one thing in common: they’re designed to bring gay men together in a welcoming, friendly environment.

Whether you’ve just moved to London, want to expand your circle, or simply fancy trying something new with great people, you’ll feel right at home.

Many of our events also support LGBTQ+ charities, helping us give back to the community while creating new connections.

What to expect
✨ Friendly and welcoming atmosphere
✨ Small group experiences
✨ A chance to meet new people without the pressure of dating apps

So come along, bring a friend (or come solo), and discover new experiences with the Friend of Dorothy community.

Many events are available at up to 75% off when booked through the Friend of Dorothy app, with proceeds supporting LGBTQ+ charities.
