London 20 & 30s Community | The Great Friendship Project

It's back! By popular demand, we’re excited to be heading for round five... with our latest Friday Night Ceilidh 💃

Yep on the back of our last four amazing experiences - we've organised another lively Scottish folk music, fast-paced dancing, and a room full of friendly faces.

And as always, we’ll start the evening at a pub in Camden, giving you the chance to grab a drink and get to know some of our community a little better, before heading over together to the main event 🍻

At the Ceilidh, you’ll be guided through simple steps by an expert caller who keeps things light, energetic, and totally beginner-friendly.

And with all the spinning and swapping partners, it’s not only a brilliant way to shake off the work week - it also burns as many calories as a full-on gym session 🔥

Once the dancing wraps up, there’ll be time to cool off, share the experience, and grab a drink with your new friends.

Best of all, while Ceilidhs can cost over £25 in the city, we’ve secured an amazing discount, making the whole night just £10.35pp 💛

This high-energy evening was incredible fun last time and so well-worth joining us for this one!

WHERE/WHEN

To start the event, we will be meeting at a pub for social drinks from 6:45pm.

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

The summer is now coming to an end but while the weather is still warm... we’re squeezing in one final summer Social Walk and Pub trip, exclusively for 20s and 30s ☀️

And for this latest free social walk, we’ll be heading back to South West London for one of our favourite hikes from Wandsworth Common to Battersea Park.

As always, we’ll kick things off by splitting everyone into smaller groups for a few fun, light-hearted games, designed to break the ice and help you get to know your fellow walkers 💬

We’ll then set off on our 2-3 hour walk, following leafy paths through Wandsworth Common, before making our way towards the River Thames.

From there, we’ll follow the river east towards Battersea Park - taking in the riverside views before passing the park’s famous Peace Pagoda, its beautiful gardens and open green spaces 🌳

And then, as is tradition, we’ll round off the afternoon at a nearby pub, where you can grab a drink or something to eat and continue chatting with the people you’ve met along the way.

It should another great summer afternoon - although always, we will be having to cap numbers for this event and so do make sure you nab your place as soon as you can!

WHERE/WHEN WE WILL MEET

On 22nd September, we're excited to be teaming up with Creams Cafe for our very first "Late Night Waffle Club" 🍨

Yep that's right - we're hosting a brand new alcohol-free social night built around desserts, games and deeper conversations, exclusively for 20s and 30s.

And to kick things off - we’ll be diving straight in with a selection of our best-loved quick party games to help break the ice, and a few fun table challenges, inspired by desserts.

Once you've settled in, we’ll be getting you in the mood for something sweet with an exclusive blind gelato tasting - organised by the Creams team 😋

The tasting will give you the chance to try out some of Cream's most delicious gelato - as well as put your taste buds to the test.

And after that - it's time for the main event...

Your spot includes a soft drink and your choice of a Creams treat, such as a Swirl Sundae, savoury Waffle Wedges, Stuffed Pancake Bites or Dough’ettes.

And while everyone enjoys their food, we'll be bringing out our conversation menus with a mix of playful and deep questions to help you get beyond the usual small talk 💬

And then to finish off the night, they'll be the chance to swap seats, play some more games, and meet some new friendly faces and continue the fun late into the night.

Best of all... the whole night including the gelato tasting, your dessert and drink is just £6.95pp - making it a super cheap night of great food and even better company 💛

Sadly owing to limited gelato... spaces are also limited - so make sure you nab yours before spots go!

JOIN THE COMMUNITY

Set up in November 2021, the project was set up to help 20s and 30s in London meet, connect and hopefully build lifelong friendships.

To help make this happen, we also host all kinds of events from free social walks, games evenings, day trips, social events, activity nights to picnics.

On Friday 25th September, we’re really excited to be heading back to the National Gallery Lates for our latest fast-paced, Photo Scavenger Hunt 🕵️

Yep every Friday, one of London’s most iconic galleries stays open late, inviting visitors to explore its treasures after hours.

However, rather than simply enjoying the wonders of the art on display, to spice up our visit, we've organised one of our famous Gallery-wide team photo hunts.

If you've not been to one of these before, our photo hunts are a unique mix of a fast-paced Scavenger Hunt and Where’s Wally?, set in one of the world’s most famous galleries 🖼️

We’ve curated a fresh selection of intriguing background characters, unusual objects and eye-catching snippets in the paintings across the gallery.

And your team’s mission is to locate as many of them as you can within 90 minutes 🕵️

You’ll be armed with clues and photo hints to help you find them, but they are designed to be easy to miss - so you’ll need to keep your wits about you and your eyes peeled.

And that’s not all - there’ll also be extra speed challenges along the way, that could give your team the chance to bag valuable bonus points.

The team with the most points by the end of the night will be crowned the winners, with some great prizes up for grabs 🏆

And once the hunt wraps up, we’ll head to the pub to grab a drink, crown the winners and hand out the prizes.

It should be a great night but places are limited and so if you would like to join us for this, please RSVP as soon as possible!
