London 20 & 30s Community | The Great Friendship Project

On Friday 26th September, we’re excited to launch our weekend of social fun with something a little different… our very first Ice Curling Night!

For this special edition of Friday night fun, we’ll be heading to QUEENS in Bayswater - one of the very few places in the UK where you can try your hand at Curling on real ice.

As always, we’ll begin the evening at one of our favourite nearby pubs, so you can grab a drink, relax, and meet your fellow 20s and 30s, before the action begins.

Then it’s onto the ice. If you’ve only ever seen curling at the Winter Olympics, teams take alternate turns sliding stones along the ice towards a target known as the “house.”

Your team members will work together using special curling brooms to sweep the ice and guide the stone, with more points scored the closer it lands to the centre.

But each round is full of strategy as you’ll need to decide whether to aim straight for the bullseye, block your opponents, or knock their stones out of the way to gain the advantage.

At the end of each round, scores are tallied, and the team with the highest total at the finish is crowned the winner.

It should be a great evening of strategy, teamwork, and competitive fun - and it's all just £10.65pp!

Although as always, spaces are limited, so secure your spot ASAP to make sure that you don’t miss out!

WHERE/WHEN

To start the event, we will be meeting at a pub for social drinks from 7:45pm.

However, we'd ask you arrive no later than 8:15pm, so that we can head over to the venue together in time for the start of the experience.

Autumn has arrived, and this Sunday - we’re making the most of the season’s changing colours with our latest Social Walk and Pub Trip, exclusively for 20s and 30s.

Yep for our latest social walk on Sunday, we'll be heading to one of the most stunning walking spots in the city - the canals of Little Venice, to mark the end of the North Paddington Canalside Festival.

We will be kicking off the event at Meanwhile Gardens nearby the festival, for a mix of fun games designed to get people talking and help you to get to know some of the other participants on the walk a little better.

Once we’re warmed up, we’ll set out on a 2–3 hour stroll along London’s most iconic waterways.

Our route will follow the Grand Union Canal, passing through Paddington and North Kensington, and taking us right through the heart of Little Venice - a picture-perfect spot filled with colourful houseboats and stunning architecture.

We’ll continue on through the greenery of Regent’s Park before finishing near a cosy cafe near the park - where you can grab a drink, enjoy a bite to eat, and spend more time getting to know your new friends.

Places are limited, and this event always fills up fast - so grab your spot while you can!

WHERE/WHEN WE WILL MEET

We don't do boring Wednesdays and so we're hugely excited to be hosting our latest activity night, designed to add some social fun to spice up your midweek.

Yep that's right, we’ll be heading back to popular Video Games Bar, Platform in Shoreditch, so that you can enjoy an evening of social gaming with lots of 20s and 30s.

To start out the night, we'll be meeting at a pub nearby for some social drinks, so you can get to know your fellow gamers before the main event of the night.

We'll then be heading over to the venue, which is fitted out with a number of semi-private video game booths.

Each booth comes complete with your own screen, a mixture of consoles and an extensive video game library to choose from.

From FIFA, to Mario Kart to Overcooked, their video game menu offers a range of the best new game titles, the most popular multiplayer games and nostalgic classics that you compete at with your fellow 20s and 30s.

These booths usually cost £15pp but we’ve been able to secure an incredible, exclusive discount - so the whole evening is just £7.95pp!

It should be a really enjoyable night and we'd love to see lots of you there but sadly, these places are very limited and so we will be offered on a first come, first serve basis.

And so if you are keen to join, please do RSVP as soon as you can!

WHERE/WHEN WE WILL MEET

We’ll be starting the evening at the Singer Tavern for some social drinks, from 7:30pm.

Back popular demand, on Friday 3rd October - we’re really excited to be hosting one of our most special events... our latest Silent Disco Party!

Yep that’s right, since our last one - we've had a number of requests for the next one and we've listened.

To start the night, we'll be heading to a pub in central London to give you chance to grab a drink and get to know some of our community a little better.

When you've had chance to loosen up for the night ahead, we'll then be heading to one of the hottest Silent Disco Parties in London, taking place in an amazing underground crypt in Central London.

If you’ve never been to a silent disco, think of it as an amazing club night… with the same energy, dancing, and fantastic music, but with a twist.

Instead of the music being controlled by a single DJ, everyone will receive their own personal set of wireless headphones and you'll have 3 channels to choose from, giving you complete control over the music and the volume!

But these aren't generic music channels, they'll be controlled by a team of top DJs and each will be playing some of the very best tunes - from club anthems, pop classics and epic party mixes, all designed to win your attention and get you dancing.

And best of all, whilst silent discos can cost over £30, we've secured an amazing deal - you can enjoy a night of amazing music and great company for just £7.45pp!

It’s sure to be an unforgettable night, so dust off your dancing shoes and join us for this!
