About us

Looking for fun and interesting things to do in Bristol? Here is the kind of thing you can expect: pub quizzes, live music, comedy nights, wine tasting, brunches and Sunday roasts, kayaking and paddleboarding, murder mystery nights, board game cafes, pub crawls, scenic walks, coffee meetups and craft workshops.

Socialise is a social club for meeting new people and making friends. Since 2023 we have grown to 3,500+ members with a 4.8-star rating, running hosted events every week. What members mention most: welcoming hosts, meeting new people, and feeling safe.

What We Run Every Week...
Join the group and you get access to all of our activity strands:

  • Outdoors and water sports: walking groups around Ashton Court, Harbourside strolls, summer BBQs, plus kayaking, canoeing and paddleboarding on the harbour.
  • Games and social mixers: murder mystery nights, pub quizzes, speed friending, board game cafe nights, and retro sports days.
  • Nightlife and pub meetups: weekend pub crawls, craft beer nights, live music, and comedy across Stokes Croft, Southville and the city centre.
  • Sober socials and cafe culture: coffee meetups, pottery and craft workshops, book clubs, and independent cinema trips.
  • Food and drink: brunch meetups, Sunday roasts, wine tasting, and local food market tours.
  • Safe and inclusive spaces: LGBTQ+ socials and women-only friend-making groups.

…Coming to Your First Meetup Alone?
Most of our members come to their first event on their own. You will not be left scanning the room for a group of strangers. Every Socialise gathering has a named host who meets you at the door, introduces you around, and makes sure you are not standing on your own.

Group Guidelines and Safety

  • Strictly platonic: a space to make genuine friends, not a dating app or a singles night.
  • Member privacy: please do not message other members online unless you have met them at an event in person first.
  • No drama: be yourself. Zero tolerance for harassment, drama or disrespect.
  • Media consent: we take photos and video at events for social media. Tell your host on arrival if you would rather not appear in them.

How to Join Socialise Bristol
Browse the upcoming events, RSVP to anything that appeals, and turn up. That is it.
We run a mix of free community socials and ticketed events, which is what lets us keep hosting at this standard across Bristol.

Unsolved Case Files: Solve A Murder! 🕵️

Unsolved Case Files: Solve A Murder! 🕵️

Greenhouse, 37 College Green,, Bristol, BS1 5SP, GB

"We moved our payment method as meetup fees were getting ridiculous."

Ever watched a true-crime documentary and thought, "I could have solved that"? Now is your chance to prove it. Socialise is taking over the Greenhouse for an immersive evening of high-stakes investigation. We aren't just playing a game; we are reopening the files on a cold case that the police couldn't crack.

The Mission:
You’ll be dropped into a specialist task force of five. Your table will be presented with a genuine-feel Unsolved Case File containing over 50 pieces of evidence: crime scene photographs, witness statements, autopsy reports, newspaper clippings, and more. The case is broken down into three distinct objectives.

To move forward, your team must use logic, lateral thinking, and a keen eye for detail to:

Prove why the original suspect was innocent. Disprove a key alibi. Identify the killer and provide the evidence needed to put them behind bars.

Vibe:
Expect a focused, collaborative, and gritty atmosphere. There are no scripted actors or "cheesy" clues—just you, your team, and the raw evidence. Whether you’re a seasoned "armchair detective" or a total newcomer, you’ll need to communicate and coordinate to sift through the red herrings and find the truth.
