London 20 & 30s Community | The Great Friendship Project

On Sunday 19th April, we're hugely excited to be hosting our latest FREE Board Games Afternoon, exclusively for 20s and 30s.

Yep, that's right - we're back and as always, we've booked out a big private space in central London and we’ve got a fantastic collection of some of the most popular games that you’ll be able to choose from.

From classics like Exploding Kittens and Codenames, social deduction games like Chameleon and Avalon, to party games like Dixit and Wavelength, you’re sure to find something you’ll love.

On top of this, you're also welcome to bring your own games that you love or have been excited to play with a group, providing they are short, easy to learn and accessible games.

Best of all, over the course of the afternoon, you'll be able to mix around, meet lots of other 20s and 30s whilst playing a range of different games.

So if you're looking to play some games, meet new people, and have a laugh then we'd love to have you join us for this.

JOIN THE COMMUNITY

Set up in November 2021, the project was set up to help Londoners in their 20s and 30s meet, connect and hopefully build lifelong friendships.

To help make this happen, we also host all kinds of events from free social walks, games evenings, day trips, social events, activity nights to picnics.

To learn more about our community, follow us on social media or buy us a coffee, please follow one of the links below.

Back by popular demand, on Wednesday 22nd April - we’re hugely excited to be hosting our latest Drink & Do Crafts Night!

Yep, after a bit of a wait - we’ll once again be getting our creative juices flowing and heading to Knightsbridge for an evening of crafts and social drinks, exclusively for 20s and 30s.

The theme of the night will be "Around the World", and over the course of the evening, you’ll have the chance to try both painting and pottery.

As part of this, we’ll provide paints, brushes, and equipment to help you create your own travel-inspired masterpiece - whether it’s a tropical beach at sunset, a dreamy city skyline, a famous world landmark or a place you’ve been dying to visit.

But that's not all, as you’ll also have the chance to try your hand at pottery with air-dry clay.

If you've not used it before, air-dry clay is great for trying out sculpting bowls, figurines, or ornaments and unlike normal clay - it doesn't require firing in a kiln and so you can take it home with you.

And once the crafting is done and your creations are complete, we’ll clear the tables so you can unwind, grab another drink, and get to know your fellow artists.

Best of all, whilst painting and crafts can cost over £40, this whole evening of social painting is just £4.95!

So, if you're up for a creative midweek evening, join us this for this latest evening of art, fun and great company.

WHERE/WHEN

On Friday 24th April, we’re really excited to be heading back to the National Gallery Lates for our latest fast-paced, Photo Scavenger Hunt.

Yep every Friday, one of London’s most iconic galleries stays open late, inviting visitors to explore its treasures after hours.

However, rather than simply enjoying the wonders of the art on display, to spice up our visit, we've organised one of our famous Gallery-wide team photo hunts 📸

If you've not been to one of these before, our photo hunts are a unique mix of a fast-paced Scavenger Hunt and Where’s Wally?, set in one of the world’s most famous galleries.

We’ve curated a fresh selection of intriguing background characters, unusual objects and eye-catching snippets in the paintings across the gallery.

And your team’s mission is to locate as many of them as you can within 90 minutes 🕵️

You’ll be armed with photo clues to help you find them, but they are designed to be easy to miss - so you’ll need to keep your wits about you and your eyes peeled.

And that’s not all - there’ll also be extra creative challenges along the way, giving your team the chance to bag valuable bonus points.

The team with the most points by the end of the night will be crowned the winners, with some great prizes up for grabs 🏆

And once the hunt wraps up, we’ll head to the pub to grab a drink, crown the winners and hand out the prizes.

It should be a great night but places are limited and so if you would like to join us for this, please RSVP as soon as possible!

Back by popular demand, we’re excited to be hosting our Nashville Hoedown Bottomless Brunch on Sunday 26th April.

Yep that's right, as a bit of a change from our usual Sunday schedule - we'll be visiting Coyote Ugly in Camden for a very special Nashville Hoedown themed, Bottomless Brunch.

If you’ve never been to one of their venues before, it is famous for its live tabletop dancers, US country themes and a party atmosphere, inspired by the 2000 film, Coyote Ugly.

You’ll get 90 minutes of bottomless prosecco, pints or soft drinks - as well as unlimited pizza!

Throughout the afternoon, you can expect a true Nashville Hoedown soundtrack - packed with some of the very best country music anthems.

Best of all, whilst Nashville bottomless brunches usually cost over £45 - we’ve secured an incredible deal, meaning all your food, drinks, and entertainment is just £15.95pp ❤️

To create a more intimate group vibe and foster better conversations, we limit our brunch events to around 12-16 people and these places are offered on a first come, first serve basis.
