Make new friends in Manchester with our next Speed-Friending event! A chill evening, a few drinks, a quiz, games and an all round good time.

💕 The chance to meet lots of lovely locals living in Manchester! You're welcome to come to this event with someone if you'd like to, but the vast majority of people come by themselves so you'll be in excellent company if you do.

💆🏻‍ At this event, we're very lucky to have Jay from JKR Massage who offers an at home massage service! He's kindly agreed to showcase a little of what he offers with some in-chair massages (completely optional, of course!) just for a little extra pampering and wellbeing time for you at the event.

🥂 A few drinks between (new) friends – both alcoholic and non alcoholic options will be available for you to purchase.

🎴 We'll have some question cards out when you first arrive to help you skip the small talk and get conversation flowing.

📝 Next up, there's team activities to help you get to know everyone better! A quiz and some seriously challenging riddles will be available to try – but don’t worry, this isn’t a test, it’s just to get everyone chatting.

🎯 From darts to puzzles, there's something for everyone to enjoy and spark conversations with new friends.

🎲 We’ll also have a selection of board and card games for you to play. You can move round different tables to try as many as you like and get to know everyone there.

👕 Dress code: whatever makes you feel most comfortable and confident! Come along in something that really shows off who you are.

Who’s welcome?

Everyone! You are very welcome by yourself (most people do!) or if you’d like to bring someone along that’s absolutely fine too.
