What we’re about
Set up in November 2021, The Great Friendship Project was set up to help 20s and 30s meet, connect and hopefully build life-long friendships.
To help make this happen, we also host 3-4 weekly events from free social walks, games evenings, day trips, social events, activity nights to picnics.
You can bring a friend to our events or come alone, our events will give you an opportunity to make new friends and have a ton of fun while you're at it.

FULL - New Year's Eve Party | London 20s and 30s
The Craft Beer Co. St Mary Axe, 29-31 Mitre Street, London, GBThe end of the year is now approaching and we thought what better way to see in 2026, than with our latest New Year's Eve Party, exclusively for 20s and 30s.
Yep that's right, we’ve once again gone big and booked out a WHOLE pub to ourselves, so you can celebrate NYE in style.
The Craft Beer Co. St. Mary Axe is right in the heart of the city of London, with some great cask and keg beer on tap, and on NYE - we will be filling it with lots of 20s and 30s for this special occasion.
As we count down to midnight together, there’ll be a few light-hearted ways to connect throughout the evening as you celebrate.
There'll be board games to break the ice, deep question cards to help you move beyond the small talk, and even a hosted quiz for a bit of fun and friendly competition.
And then after midnight, there will also be the option of heading to one of our favourite pubs, The Star By Liverpool Street's NYE Karaoke Party, where we've secured free entry, so you can sing your heart out and dance the night away.
And so whether you are new to our 20s and 30s events or a seasoned veteran, you are very welcome to join us for what will be a special night.

ATTENDANCE FEE
Since we are now reaching capacity and we have limited space at the venue, we will be charging a very small £3.50 attendance fee.
This is to ensure we don't have a large waitlist and to ensure only the most keen to attend are able to do so. The money of which will go towards the activities and prizes on the night.

FULL - Friday Night Bowling | London 20s and 30s
The Thirsty Bear, 62 Stamford Street, London, GBOn Friday 2nd January, we're excited to be kicking off another year of social fun with our latest Friday Night Bowling Social.
Yep that's right... we'll be heading back to one of the best value activities in the whole of London, Duckpin Bowling at Brewdog in Waterloo for an evening of bowling and social drinks.
If you've never heard of Duckpin Bowling, it is a variant of traditional bowling that's seen incredible growth of popularity over the last few years.
The rules of the game are very similar to standard bowling, with bowlers trying to knock down pins in the fewest rolls over 10 frames.
However, with lighter balls, shorter lanes and smaller pins, with Duckpin Bowling you'll need even more precision and skill to get a strike.
Best of all, it is one of the cheapest Bowling experiences in the whole of London at just £8.35pp!
Places are limited though and will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis and so if you would like to join us for this, please RSVP as soon as possible!

WHERE/WHEN
To start the night, we will be meeting nearby at the Thirsty Bear pub in Waterloo at 7:30pm to give you a chance to meet and with your fellow bowlers.
However, we'd kindly ask that you arrive no later than 8:10pm, so that we can head over together in time for the experience.

TeamSport London Docklands, 3 Herringham Road Charlton London SE7 8NJ, London, GBWe don’t do boring Wednesdays, and to mark the new year in style, we’re hosting one of our favourite adrenaline-fuelled midweek activity nights!
Yep that’s right, we’ll be back in the driver's seat again and heading to one London’s best indoor Go Karting tracks, TeamSport Docklands for an evening of fast-paced races.
This indoor venue offers the fastest karts in Central London driving speeds of up-to 40mph, and a multi-Level track experience across over 800 metres.
The night will start with a quick briefing to help you get to grips with the track, the rules, and how to get the most out of your kart.
We’ll then hit the track for two high-powered 15-minute races, with a break in between so you can catch your breath.
Once the racing’s done, there’s a podium to pose on if you manage to race your way to glory and the option to stick around in the venue’s bar to swap stories, share tactics, and toast your victories (or near misses).
Best of all, we've managed to secure a better than half price deal - so that this experience is just £21.50pp!
These karting nights are always great fun and don't come around very often, and so hopefully see you there!
