Menai Bridge New Friends Young or Old Meetup Group

The aim of this social meet-up is to help people form genuine connections and friendships — whether you’re new to the area or a local who simply wants to meet new faces. This group welcomes everyone, from all backgrounds and walks of life. All ages are encouraged to join; in fact, I’d love to keep the group as mixed as possible. There are plenty of events aimed at older adults, but it would be wonderful to see younger people involved too, as well as those around my age (33) and our wiser elders. Ultimately, everyone is welcome with open arms.

I’ve lived in North Wales full-time for almost five years, and I’ve noticed how few relaxed evening social events there are for people who just want to talk, unwind, and make new friends. So I thought — why not start something myself?

We’ll be meeting at 7pm at Shillings in Menai Bridge, a modern and laid-back bar with a comfortable atmosphere. The evening will be very relaxed. Feel free to grab a drink if you’d like — or, if you’re like me and now teetotal, a glass of water or a soft drink is just as welcome. Come along, enjoy some friendly conversation, talk about your hobbies and interests, and see what new connections naturally form.

This is not a singles event, and we kindly discourage drinking too much alcohol. The intention is to keep things calm, comfortable, and respectful so everyone can chat and engage freely.

I genuinely look forward to welcoming you and seeing this little community grow. 😊
