Plus 20 volunteer hosts who spend their own evenings getting people together.
A mix of free socials and ticketed events. The price is on the event before you book, usually the cost of a pint or two, and ticket sales are what keep the hosting standard up.
Cancel any time before the event.
Please do. Our events are built for it, so most people arrive on their own. Hosts are there to greet you and make sure nobody is left standing by themselves.
People who had enough of waiting to see which friend was free. Most are in their 20s, 30s and 40s, and most walked in alone the first time.
No. A walk around Ashton Court, paddleboarding on the harbour, coffee meetups, craft workshops, board game afternoons. Plenty happens in daylight without a drink in sight.
Browse what's on and book straight from the event page here. You give an email address, your ticket arrives in it, and you can cancel any time before the event. Our events are listed on a few other platforms too, so if you already have an account on one of those, booking there works just as well.
Ours, or whichever you already use. They all get you the same seat, so pick whichever is less hassle.
We currently post events on platforms that don't always work well for you: sign-up walls before you've even read what's on, prompts nudging you towards a subscription. So we're building our own booking site, where you can sign up without worrying about being pushed into one.
Be first through the door. Pop your email in and we'll be first to tell you when our platform is ready.
No spam, just one email when the platform is ready. Unsubscribe anytime.

hello@socialise.eventsThe first one is the only hard one.
Pick one and turn up. Come alone or bring a friend. Either way, you'll know people by the end.
