About us
Socialise Bristol is a social club for making friends and meeting new people in Bristol, whether you're new to Bristol or have lived here for years. We run hosted events every week, from games nights, pottery and murder mystery nights to walks, quizzes and Sunday roasts. Come on your own or bring a friend. All our events are for adults aged 18 and over.
Since 2023 we have grown to 4,000+ members with a 4.8-star rating. 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?
You won't be the only one coming on your own, and 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.
- No advertising: please do not advertise services or items within the groups, including charity and housing.
- 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.
