London 20 & 30s Community | The Great Friendship Project

It's that time of year! Spooky season has arrived and to celebrate, we're excited to be hosting our annual Pumpkin Carving Night, exclusively for 20s and 30s.

For this, we've gone and reserved a private area near Knightsbridge, so we can get into the Halloween spirit with some fun and festive crafting.

To help you, we will be providing a range of tools, candles, sharpies, spoons and all the other bits needed for a fun-filled evening of pumpkin carving.

All you need to bring is your Pumpkin of Choice and plenty of creative inspiration.

And when you're finished with your pumpkin, you'll also have the option to decorate and decoupage your very own Halloween mask.

Once the crafts are done and your creations are complete, we’ll then clear the space to make room for more socialising.

Best of all, whilst Pumpkin Carving Nights can cost you over £20 in the city, this whole evening is just £4.95!

No prior pumpkin carving experience is necessary and so whether you're a seasoned pro or a complete beginner, come join us for a night of creative Halloween fun!

WHERE/WHEN

The Day of the Dead is fast approaching and so we thought what better way to mark the scariest day of the year than with our 4th Halloween Party, exclusively for 20s and 30s.

Yep that's right - once again, we’ve gone big and booked out a big underground bar in Central London so you can celebrate All Hallow's Eve with a terrifying amount of 20s and 30s.

Not only that but to spice things up, we’ve organised a whole range of Halloween themed games and activities.

From our traditional Halloween Candy Treasure Hunt, Apple Bobbing Relay, and a range of Trick or Treat Challenges - we've got a whole host of fun for you to enjoy over the course of the evening.

And of course, no halloween would be complete without some terrifying costumes, and so do get into the spooky spirit with some creative and horrifying costumes.

We will also be awarding prizes (as voted by you) for the best costumes on the night.

To finish off the evening, you will then have the option to head over to Popworld where we've organised FREE entry, so you can dance the night away to some freaky tunes.

Whether you are new to our 20s and 30s events or a seasoned veteran, you are very welcome to join us for a night that'll sure to be one to remember.

ATTENDANCE FEE

As we are now reaching our capacity limit at the pub - rather than running a waiting list (as we don’t like having lots of people in limbo unsure if they can come), we will be charging a small £3.50 attendance fee.

This will go to cover the cost of the prizes and activities on the night.

WHERE/WHEN

Another Sunday, and for our latest social walk for 20s and 30s, we’ve lined up a stunning route through some of the best hiking spots in East London.

Yep that's right, for our latest social walk on Sunday 2nd November, we'll be hiking across East London from Stratford to Canary Wharf.

We will be meeting outside the Timber Lodge at the edge of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, where you'll be allocated a group/team for an initial mix of fun ice breaker games designed to help introduce you to your fellow hikers.

We will then wander through the park, flying past the famous London Stadium and some of the famous sporting arenas from the 2012 Olympics.

From there, we will then venture through Victoria Park and its stunning array of statues, gardens, tranquil lakes and lush green spaces.

We will then head down the Regent's Canal past Mile End and Limehouse, before finally ending up at a pub in Canary Wharf - where you’ll be able to grab a drink and get to know some of your fellow hikers a little better.

WHERE/WHEN WE WILL MEET

Bonfire Night is nearly here and on Wednesday 5th November, to light up your midweek, we’ll be heading to our very first Fireworks Night!

Yep, that’s right... we’ll be bringing some sparkle to your week with an evening full of crackles, bangs and dazzling light displays.

We’ll kick things off at a nearby café, where you can grab a drink and meet some friendly faces before the big show.

If you've never been before Morden Park Fireworks Night is one of London’s biggest and best displays, featuring a huge bonfire, themed music, and a spectacular pyrotechnic show set to music.

Over the evening, you’ll have the chance to chat, laugh, and watch the sky light up together.

And with our exclusive discount, this is not just one of the best displays - it's also one of the cheapest firework nights in the city at just £9.85pp!

Although as always, tickets are limited - so do grab your spot now and join us for a night of fireworks and great company!

WHERE/WHEN

We will be starting the evening at Chai Palace at 6:45pm to give you a chance to meet and with your fellow 20s and 30s.

However we'd kindly ask you arrive no later than 7:15pm, so that we can head over to the venue together in good time for the show.
