Sheffield Social Drinks

### Sheffield Social Stuff LAUNCH NIGHT @ The Rutland Arms

Saturday 23 August 2025 • from 7 pm
Brown Street, S1 2BS (just behind the Showroom Cinema)

***

#### What’s happening?

We’re taking everything that made Manchester Social Stuff a runaway success— hundreds of meetups, thousands of friendships—and lighting the same spark in Sheffield. Our very first Sheffield gathering is a laid-back “turn-up-and-chat” mixer in one of the city’s most character-packed pubs:

• The Rutland Arms – famous for its ever-rotating cask and craft taps, quirky murals, and a beer garden that’s basically a Sheffield rite of passage.

From 7pm onwards we’ll hopefully have a place reserved, and I'll send a photo ahead of time of where we are and what I look like. No tickets, no speeches, no awkward games—just good drinks, and plenty of friendly faces.

#### Why come along?

• Meet people of every age & background. Students, professionals, parents, retirees, brand-new arrivals—if you’re up for a chat, you’re in.
• Shape the future calendar. Bring your own ideas for hikes, game nights, gigs, coding jams, family outings—nothing’s off the table - even become a host for future events.
• Zero cost barrier. Membership is 100 % free; you just pay for whatever you order at the bar.
• Iconic venue vibes. Real-ale heaven, hearty pub grub and that unmistakable Rutland charm set the perfect tone for a community built on inclusivity.

#### Accessibility & practical bits

• Main bar is ground-floor with step-free entrance and accessible toilet.
• Coming solo? Perfect—most people will be.
• Need a familiar face first? Message us and we’ll meet you outside.
