Offline Night

**A mid-week escape with no distractions, new people, and good drinks.** ​ **Offline Night** is part of OffMode’s July event series - slow social gatherings for people who want more from their free time than rushing, scrolling, and saying they’ll make time for their hobbies “soon.” ​Think low lights, good drinks, shared tables, and easy conversations with people who also chose to spend their Thursday night differently. ​The night starts slow. ​Arrive, put your phone away, and step out of the week for a while. Read, journal, sketch, write, or simply do nothing and relax. We’ll have creative materials around if you feel like picking something up. ​Then, the room comes alive. ​Conversations start. Tables mix. Strangers become familiar. The night gets warmer, louder, and a little more unexpected - the way it does when people are actually in the room with each other. ​Come alone. Come curious. Come as you are. ​**A better mid-week ritual starts here.** ## How the night unfolds: ​**5:30pm – 5:45pm \| Arrive & settle in** Put your phone away, get cosy & grab a drink ​**6:00pm – 7:00pm \| Connect with yourself** Read the book you keep meaning to open. Journal. Sketch. Write. Explore a new hobby. This is time to slow down, rediscover your creativity, and remember what you enjoy when no one is asking you to be productive. ​**7:00pm – 8:00pm \| Connect with others** Join a game, follow a conversation, meet someone new. This part of the night is all about making connection feel easy - no pressure, just people in the same room choosing to be present. ​**8:00pm – 8:30pm \| Wrap\-up** Get your phone back and step into the rest of your week feeling lighter, calmer, and more present.
