About us
Hosting events in Manchester City Centre.
Free: Social lives shouldn't come with fees, so nor do we.
If you drink or eat in a venue, you'll need to cover that.
There's just no extra fees or hidden costs.
Real: Anonymity encourages deception so we verify who you are.
You don't need a photo or an identifiable username - we'll message.
It's not a problem if you don't wish to provide info, we just won't accept.
Discord: Hosting additional events for an established community:
Quizzes, Gaming, Walks, Cocktails, Lunches, Drinks, Trips etc.
It's free and secure, a bit like a Whatsapp but without numbers.
