London 20 & 30s Community | The Great Friendship Project

On Friday 20th June, we're really excited to kick off a weekend with something a little different... our latest Live Comedy Night.

And this time we’re heading to the Big Fat Festival on the Southbank for an evening of laughter and great company.

Think of it as the Edinburgh Fringe of the Southbank, a comedy festival packed with some of the UK’s best rising and established comedians.

To kick off the night, we’ll start at a nearby pub for social drinks, so you can meet fellow 20s and 30s, before heading over to one of the festival's comedy locations.

We'll then be heading to their big Friday Night Gala event, featuring a brilliant mix of rising stars and circuit legends, including comedians with viral specials, Edinburgh sell-outs, Comedy Central sets, and millions of views between them online.

Best of all, whilst tickets are going for £26 - we’ve bagged an exclusive deal, so you can join us for just £4.95pp!

But spaces are very limited, and so do grab your spot as soon as you can - before they go!

WHERE/WHEN

We’ll be starting the evening at a nearby pub in Waterloo, from 7:15pm.

Temperatures are rising again this week, and with the longest day of the year landing on Saturday, we’ll be celebrating with our first Summer Picnic of the year.

Yep, with the heatwave expected to last into the weekend, we’ll be heading back to Kensington Gardens (Hyde Park) to enjoy an afternoon in the sun, with social drinks and lots of 20s and 30s.

And throughout the afternoon, there’ll be the option to play some light-hearted park games like spike ball, frisbee, and football, but you're just as welcome to come along and unwind in the sunshine.

Feel free to bring any board games, card games, snacks or drinks you'd like and perhaps something to sit on.

These picnics are always something a bit special, and sadly very rare, so we’d love for you to join us while the sunshine lasts.

Please note this event is weather-dependent and may be cancelled if the forecast changes.

WHERE/WHEN WE WILL MEET

On Sunday 22nd June, we're hugely excited to be hosting our latest FREE Board Games Afternoon, exclusively for 20s and 30s.

Yep, that's right - we're back and as always, we've booked out a big private space in central London and we’ve got a fantastic collection of some of the most popular games that you’ll be able to choose from.

From classics like Exploding Kittens and Uno, social deduction games like Secret Hitler and Werewolf, to party games like Codenames and Chameleon, you’re sure to find something you’ll love.

On top of this, you're also welcome to bring your own games that you love or have been excited to play with a group, providing they are short, easy to learn and accessible games.

Best of all, over the course of the afternoon, you'll be able to mix around, meet lots of other 20s and 30s whilst playing a range of different games.

So if you're looking to play some games, meet new people, and have a laugh then we'd love to have you join us for this.

WHERE/WHEN

We don’t do boring Wednesdays... and so on 25th June, to spice up your midweek, we’ll be heading to the O2 for an adrenaline-fuelled evening of social fun.

Yep and for this one, we're off to Activate - one of London’s most exciting new venues, packed with high-energy games and immersive team challenges.

To kick things off, we’ll meet at a nearby pub so you can grab a drink, get to know your fellow competitors before the main event of the evening.

Inside the venue, you’ll find 9 high-tech game rooms, each offering a range of timed challenges designed to test your speed, skill, memory, strategy and teamwork.

You’ll be grouped into teams of 4, and in each game room, you’ll have the option to work together to beat the challenge or go head-to-head against your teammates to see who comes out on top.

Each room has multiple difficulty levels too, so you can replay your favourite games and level up as you go.

Your electronic wristband tracks your score throughout the session - both your personal tally and your team’s total, and your points can even be redeemed for prizes.

And if you’re not ready for the fun to end, there will be an option to head back to a local pub afterwards to cool off and swap stories.

It should be a great evening night of fast-paced fun - but as always, spots are limited, so grab yours while you can!

WHERE/WHEN

We will be starting the evening at All Bar One in the O2 at 7:30pm to give you a chance to meet and with your fellow 20s and 30s.

However we'd kindly ask you arrive no later than 7:55pm, so that we can head over to the venue together and get checked in, ahead of the experience.
