### 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.

#### How to RSVP

Hit “Going” on the event page or drop us a quick email—purely so we can warn the bar how many to expect.

Raise a glass, say hello and help launch Sheffield’s newest (and friendliest) social community. **It all starts with you—see you at the Rutland on the 23rd!**
