**Wright and Grainger (UK)** In English 20:00-21:00 50-225 kr - click here for [Tickets](https://h2ocph.billetten.dk/index/eventdetails/eventno/140596) **Internationally award winning modern re-telling of an ancient myth** Dave is single. He's stood at the bar. Eurydice is a tree nymph. And Bruce Springsteen is on the juke box. A tale of impossible, death defying love told through hair raising spoken word and soaring acoustic soul music. Wright&Grainger weave a world of dive bars, side streets and ancient gods. Since it's creation in 2016, ORPHEUS has played over 500 shows nationally and internationally between festivals, cafes, gardens, railways arches, bars, tents, churches, yoga studios, boats, record shops, breweries, loft apartments and the very occasional theatre. It's won multiple awards including: Best Theatre (Adelaide Fringe) 2018 Best Theatre (Fringeworld) 2019 Best Music(Sydney Fringe) 2019 Beyond Words (Dunedin Fringe) 2019 Critics Choice (Adelaide Fringe) 2023 "**Theatrical Magic. I laughed, I cried, I loved it."** \- Glam Adelaide "**Charming, uplifting - storytelling at its finest."** \- Adelaide Advertiser "**A true gem of a show whose praise I want to sing from the rooftops"** \- VoiceMag Words by Alexander Wright Music by Phil Clive Grainger **H2O** is proud to bring Wright and Grainger to Denmark for the first time. Orpheus is an exciting piece of spoken word mastery. The combination of Wright's rap reading of the text combined with Grainger's sultry vocal tones brings the story to life in ways unimaginable. Spoke Word is a specifically unique genre in London that isn't seen here in Denmark. **Supported by: Københavns Kommune Scenekunstudvalg and Nørrebro Lokaludvalg.**

Hey all Im recreating this group again, lets meet at Paddys for drinks and meet people! Usually we end up going dancing elsewhere. Hope to see you :)

Hej! Copenhagen’s not just cozy — it’s cosmopolitan too. [[Click this whatsapp groupchat link to join us]](https://chat.whatsapp.com/G17vOykCrh68lPQX2P8D7T) Our Saturday 7:30 PM meetups gather 20–30-somethings who love international connections. Expect warm vibes, open minds, and a seat at the table for everyone. Come join the city’s most hyggeligt hangout. join us!!

We're continuing with Saturday evening Football / soccer ⚽ The field is not booked and the event is for free 🆓 Usually the field is available at 6 PM, but if it's booked by a local club, we must move. Last minute sign-offs will be banned 🟥 for future games if it happens more than once and no reason is given. The game is for all levels, genders 👦👨 and people wanting to have fun. We keep it friendly and respectful. Everyone who can should bring a ball and a pump. Also don't forget to bring a black and a white T-shirt as we do not have bibs.

You are only confirmed when u have paid. Every one will be moved to waitlist, until payment is received. Playing 7v7. Already 5 registered (not here on meetup) 💰 Cost: 115 kr Mobilepay: 9539SH Revolut: revolut.me/frederwnn

Starting at Nyhavn, we'll cross the bridge to Amager and walk towards Reffen. At Reffen we'll make some time for lunch or coffee. There is also a fleamarket to take a look at this Sunday. For those who want to continue, we'll jump on the Harbour Bus near Reffen and sail all the way to the south end of the line. \#\# If you're using public transport\, then https://dinoffentligetransport\.dk/en/find\-tickets/day\-tickets/12\-hour\-ticket may be useful \(also usable on the Harbor Bus\)

Come join us for an afternoon run/jog/walk We are not a typical running club, so please read about the concept in “about us”. How it works: we don’t know in advance where the trail will go, but we know it will be fun! A member of the club, the 'hare', sets a trail, usually marked with flour. The rest of us, the 'pack', follows the hare's 'scent', i.e., the marks. There will be a 8-10 km trail for runners with shortcuts down to 5-6 km for walkers and those who need a slower pace. We have no set pace - run/walk as slow or as fast as you'd like. After the run we enjoy some refreshments and socialize. Come a few minutes before the start so that you can say hi and leave your bag in a designated bag car before we set off at 14:30. Don’t worry if there are few registrations on Meetup. We have existed for 44 years, and a lot of our members (anywhere from 20 to 50 people) just show up. Four-legged friends are welcome! We never cancel. See you there!

**No pressure, no plan—just new friends** ✨ Whether you’re visiting Copenhagen for the first time, recently relocated, or simply love connecting with curious people, this weekly meetup is the perfect way to share stories, make friends, and go explore, as a group, the magic that Copenhagen has to offer 🇩🇰 **What to expect?** • **Casual & hostless**: no formal host, no schedule: just show up, be yourself, meet fellow solo travellers & expats and decide as a group where you feel like going • **Central meeting point**: it is surrounded by cultural landmarks, cafes, and restaurants, making it a convenient and safe starting point. • **Open to everyone**: whether you are a local, an expat or just passing through for a few days, you are welcome to join. (English is the primary language, but feel free to switch of course) **How to talk with strangers?** (and create meaningful connections) To help you get started, I curated a little game of **[ridiculously good questions](https://www.pierrebonvalot.com/theblog?p=285a9711d7df80d5ac25dd4ef8fe5394&pm=c)** you can ask to break the ice, shift the conversation from dull to intriguing and fun, and eventually create meaningful connection quickly. I hope this helps! **The only things you need to do are…** • Leave a message in the comment section to let the others know that you will actually be there (I don’t want you to end up alone there :) • If you can’t make it anymore, no problem! But please update your RSVP to let the others know • Please be gentle and patient with each other. We all want to make good friends here. **Why join?** • Meet open-minded travellers and locals who are keen to connect, learn and have fun together. • Experience Copenhagen... as a group. • Be part of a global community that celebrates solo travelling and meaningful connections between foreign and locals. **How does it works?** 1\. Arrive at the meeting spot at the scheduled time\. 2\. Look for other joiners—friendly faces and curious explorers\. 3\. Introduce yourself\, connect with others\, and decide as a group where to go\. **When & where?** • Day: every Sunday • Time: 4:00 PM (meetup sometimes displays a different time zone: but it’s always 4pm local time) • Location: in front of the Søren Kierkegaard statue **Hostless**: I am setting up the event for you all to meet, but I won't be there myself this time :) **Hi my name is Pierre** I created this Meetup group because I want to see more human connection happen in the real world. I feel many of us want this, but don't exactly know how to go about it. I hope this helps a little bit. I also work as a transformational coach: I help people who feel stuck in their life to reconnect with themselves, create real change and ultimately live more fulfilling lives. 🔗 bento.me/pierrebonvalot

Escape the winter chill and immerse yourself in an evening of creativity, conversation, and coziness. Join us for a **Mulled Wine & Collage Workshop**—a seasonal gathering that celebrates Danish *hygge* through warm drinks and imaginative art-making. Set in a charming Copenhagen café turned creative studio for the night, you’ll begin with a tasting of traditional Danish **gløgg** (mulled wine) in all its variations—red, white, spiced, and even alcohol-free. With guidance from a local flavor-maker, you’ll get the chance to create your own personalized blend using classic Scandinavian spices and garnishes. Once your mug is filled with your perfect concoction, settle into a candlelit workspace stocked with vintage magazines, colorful papers, fabrics, and other tactile treasures. A collage artist will guide the group through a meditative cut-and-paste flow where you’ll create a visual piece rooted in seasonal themes like winter coziness, Copenhagen memories, or dream landscapes. Whether you come with friends or on your own, this cozy and creative evening will leave you inspired, relaxed, and ready for winter.
