About us

This is a group for newcomers looking to find friends and socialise with locals in Haarlem, Netherlands.

By the community for the community:
If you have a good idea for an event, please get in touch and I will help you set them up.

We are a mixed group of locals that meets for drinks regularly and also occasionally organises supping, hiking in nature, music nights, bake-offs, days out, picnics, bike rides, game nights and anything you can think of!

We want this to be a group where everyone feels welcome and a community is created where real friendships can flourish.
Join this group if you like smaller, cosier meetups with friendly people. We live in an impersonal age of technology and it can be really hard to make friends in a new place.

If you like larger gatherings or a place to find fellow expats, have a look at ExpatsHaarlem. They organise many activities which are generally much bigger.

We generally speak English, and have many Dutch members as well.

Donations needed:
We run on a donation basis to cover essential expenses, support events and keep the behind-the-scenes magic going.

We have the following community guidelines:

  • Respect - Mutual respect for eachother.
  • Inclusivity - Everyone is welcome to the meetup.
  • Safety - Feeling safe at our meetups.

If anything needs our attention please contact one of the listed organizers.

~Your Host, Johan!
