What we’re about
Canterbury Social Connections is a social group where you can meet new people, try new activities or get more people involved in the activities you enjoy.
The group is designed so that any member can 'host' an event, so there are always new types of events on the schedule. Its free to be a member, and to attend events, we just ask that active members make a donation to the running costs every 3 months.
Some members host regular events, including pub quizzes, walking, trail running, book club, meals out, badminton sessions, film club, drinks nights, music gigs, board game events and many more.
Whether you've just moved to the area, or have been here for a while and are looking to expand your social circle; come along to an event, meet some like-minded people and experience some adventures! New members are welcome at every event - we were all new once!
Once you've been to your first meetup with the group, if you want to host your own event, message one of the event organisers.

Upcoming events (4+)
See all- Spring Walk (4 kms) - Blean Woods, Rough CommonRSBP Blean Woods Car Park, Rough Common
FULLY BOOKED. Join us for a Spring Walk at Blean Woods followed by coffee and/or Sunday brunch at the Meadow Grange Cafe.
This circular walk through ancient woodlands (following the red route), takes approximately an hour. After the walk, we will drive to Meadow Grange Cafe for coffee and/or Sunday brunch. The cafe is within the Meadow Grange Nursery.
It is a great opportunity to catch up with old friends, make new ones, and enjoy a coffee or brunch. The event will finish at approx. 12.00 pm.
We will meet at 10.00 am at the Blean Woods Car Park, New Road, Rough Common. The car park is free but popular, so try and get there a bit early if you can. If the car park is full, there are some spots along New Road (the road leading to the car park).
The route is relatively flat. Check the weather beforehand, and if wet, please bring appropriate clothes, sturdy footwear, and a change of shoes.
Numbers are limited to 12, so please book early to avoid disappointment.
There will be a waitlist, so please keep your RSVPs up to date so that others can attend if you can't make it. If you would like to stay on for coffee or brunch, please let us know so we can confirm numbers with the cafe closer to the day.
Hopefully, the weather should be good, but if the weather deteriorates, we will message everyone the day before to see whether they prefer to meet for brunch or are happy to brave the elements still.
Dogs on leads are allowed.
