### A Christmas social built around connection, fun and ending the year intentionally. If your idea of a Christmas social is more than just turning up, making small talk and going home, this one is for you. On **Saturday 12 December**, eventsby.nst is bringing together 30 people in Manchester for an afternoon and evening designed around **shared experiences, genuine connection and a little festive chaos.** From **2:00 PM to 8:30 PM**, we'll move through three different experiences: ✨ **Vision Board Workshop** Start the afternoon at GRIT Studios with a guided vision-board session led by [brandinamadeit](https://www.instagram.com/brandinamadeit/). Reflect on the year, think about what you want next, create something meaningful — and meet the people you'll be spending the day with. 🎄 **Illuminated Media Hunt** Then we head into Manchester Christmas Market in teams for a festive challenge around the city. Expect creativity, teamwork, ridiculous moments and a little friendly competition. 🍽️ **Dinner, Reflections & Secret Santa** We'll finish the evening over dinner, share some of the day's best moments, celebrate the winning team and exchange Secret Santa gifts. ### This isn't just another Christmas event. At NST, we want people to leave knowing more people than when they arrived — not just collecting names or making five minutes of small talk. So the activities are deliberately designed to help you **do things together, laugh together and actually connect.** Come on your own or come with someone you know. You won't need to arrive with a ready-made group. 📅 **Saturday 12 December 2026** 🕑 **2:00 PM – 8:30 PM** 📍 **Manchester City Centre** 🎟️ **Limited to 30 places** ## Important: Book through [Ticket Tailor](https://www.tickettailor.com/events/navigatingsocialtides/2414552) **RSVPing on Meetup does NOT reserve your place.** All event registrations are being handled through our official [Ticket Tailor page](https://www.tickettailor.com/events/navigatingsocialtides/2414552
