What we’re about
Hi there!
Rainbow Social Sydney is an LGBQTIA+ social group for all members of the Sydney LGBTQIA+ community, their friends and allies.
We run regular events throughout the year which bring people together to connect with like minded people. We always welcome new people to every event!
The difference with Rainbow Social, we have regular events, all around Sydney, Steven as the host is there to meet and greet you as well as for YOU to have a deep sense of connection!!!
When you arrive, you will be greeted by the event host (who will be wearing a rainbow shirt) at the entrance, will give you a run day of how the event works and then introduce you to some new people.
A place to meet, greet, network, socialise and interact, the group’s mission is to connect people from all walks of life, be inclusive and not be cliquey. We're not a dating group or a hookup group - please don't come with expectations of finding your life-partner (or tonight's partner!) - rather come with an open mind for making new connections, chatting with people you might not have ever met and developing social interactions. (Of course, if that all evolves into something more, then great!)
Our Group Values: connection, commitment, courage, community and consistency! You can NOT come once and hope to meet your best friend, they take time.
We look forward to meeting you at an event :)

SOME FAQ:
Why tickets?
Your $10 spot helps cover hosting and Meetup fees so we can keep creating these events for the community.
How will I find you/what to do when arrive:
The Winery is towards the back, you will see me in rainbow at entrance as well as Rainbow balloon
I do not drink or like loud music. How will we chat:
The venue has lots of non-alcohol options - mocktails etc and the music will be at a level that we can chat and mingle
Coming alone?
Yes, please do! Everyone starts somewhere. I’ll be at the entrance to greet you and make sure you feel welcome. The first event can feel a little daunting, but it gets easier—and you’ll start seeing familiar faces.
I also try to match and mix you with regulars, which helps with conversation flow, dynamics and I always facilitate an event that you have a deep sense of connection.
I want YOU and I to make friends. Attendance is key! Look forward to seeing you there.
Can I bring a friend or friends with me:
- Of course, more the merrier and always encouraged. Just grab a ticket for all and see you there
Worried it looks cliquey?
It might seem that way because regulars keep coming back (which is awesome for building connections!). But diversity is key, and new faces are always encouraged. This is where real friendships happen, by attending consistently.
How to get there:
- There is the 304 (Zetland or city) and 352 (Bondi Junction or Marrickville) bus out the front.
- Train to Museum and walk Oxford St and turn right on Crown St
- Buses along Oxford St as well.10 attendees
