Friendly Faces of Warwickshire

What better way to get out and meet more people... whether you're a first-timer or a regular, get your name down to join this mixed casual group-tour around downtown Warwick on a relaxed Friday evening, and we'll descend together upon its most popular bars one at a time, staying long enough for a drink or two before we all move on to the next one.

What is a Friendly Faces Monthly Social "Flash Mob"?...
To the untrained eye this event looks like a pub-crawl, but rather than being about getting drunk (as pub-crawls are) this monthly meetup event instead focusses on the social aspects : getting out and meeting new people, mingling, and expanding your social circle. Bring friends if you want to, but coming alone is what most attendees do.
The changing of venues helps encourage the mingling upon us, and typically by the end of the evening - each attendee will (1) have met most if not all of the other attendees present, (2) feel like they fit right in, (3) feel pretty chuffed about having chatted with some friendly like-minded people, and (4) be checking the diary to see if they can make the next one!

If you're driving, or (like me) alcohol isn't your thing, then do as I and any other non-drinkers do, and instead sip on a glass of cordial, coke, or zero beer.
There is no pressure to buy drinks. If you decide to skip the bar and just enjoy the social occasion, its fine.

Big Win #1...
Unlike the usual sit-down or stand-still-all-night meetups, this style of event will keep mixing us up as a group every time we change venue, and the mingling will happen automatically as we go with the flow.

Big Win #2...
As a big group of people it will be great fun and a guaranteed laugh watching the bewildered faces of the non-meetup people in the bars as we all walk in the door together and fill the place, and then after an hour or so of meetup chatter - all leave together and empty it again!

Venues...
As you may know there are several cool bars in central Warwick so we wont have to walk far between venues. We'll keep it to between 3 and 4 venues throughout the evening, and stay close to the Market Square in the town centre.

I'll keep our location-changes communicated as the evening progresses so you can join at any point along the route, but lateness is not recommended. Obviously if you're on time at the start you'll be present for introductions, and you'll get much more out of the evening.
So to start we'll gather in the very awesome spacious pub garden of the New Bowling Green (CV34 4JD) at 7:30pm and let the socialising commence.

If you hadn't guessed by now this is a monthly event, and as always, I'm looking forward to it!

The U L T I M A T E music-festival meetup is back again! Congratulations on clicking on to the summer meetup event of 2025 that you simply cannot afford to miss - as those who attended with us last year (or the year before) will tell you. Each year this event sees fantastic performances from six of the finest musical acts the world has produced, imitated to perfection by six amazing pro-level tribute bands (hence the use of the word 'fake') who belt out the classics throughout an unforgettable summers day.

Last year we saw amazing performances from awesome tribute bands for Queen, Blur, Bon Jovi, Kings of Leon, Pink and Pulp.
This year the line-up consists of the following...

• Oasis... performed by "Oasish" (headlining),
• Green Day... performed by "Ultimate Green Day",
• Guns n Roses... performed by "Guns2Roses",
• U2... performed by "New 2",
• Kings of Leon... performed by "Kings of Lyon", and
• Blondie... performed by "Blondied".

With all the entertainment happening inside a spacious marquee in the middle of Victoria Park, you can dip in and out of the marquee as you prefer and chill out on the grass (or have a chat with the other attendees) when you're not watching the bands.

As if this superb entertainment wasn't enough - as with all Friendly Faces events, if you attend with us you can enjoy an abundance of like-minded conversation and social opportunities between acts throughout the day, as we enjoy the group atmosphere, the occasion and the summery vibes!
Also as usual - no need to worry about coming alone if that's your situation, it's what most people do at our events, and as usual you'll be made to feel really welcome.

The early-bird £35 tickets have all gone, so get in quick to snatch what's left of the £40 tickets.
Fake Festivals have been known to sell out without warning, so make sure you don't leave it any longer to get on-board.

This event is an absolute blast, and a big favourite of mine. Of course - the bigger the Friendly Faces meetup group - the better (the more the merrier) and everyone else who signs up hopes you can make it!
What are you waiting for? 🙂
