About us

Welcome to Evening Walks & Social Dinners! Join us for scenic evening walks, nice local food, great chats & making new friends in Singapore!

Originally known as Evening Walks, we expanded our name to add "& Social Dinners" to reflect the complete social experience our community offers. We don't just walk—we connect, dine, explore, and help you meet new friends and expand your social network in a warm, inclusive, and welcoming environment.

As part of the broader Journey Together community network, our events are thoughtfully curated by a dedicated team of volunteer hosts.

### 🌟 What We Do

Whether you are looking to stay active, broaden your circle of friends, discover dining gems, or enjoy cool evening walks across Singapore, there is a place for you here:

🍵 Pre-Event Tea Sessions: For our regular members, we usually organize optional pre-event tea gatherings before our walks. It's a fantastic, cozy way to catch up, break the ice early, and relax before stepping out.
👣 Scenic Evening Walks & Heritage Trails: Explore Singapore's beautiful parks, iconic coastal routes, historic rail corridors, and vibrant heartland neighborhoods at a relaxed, conversational pace. Our walks usually cover distances ranging from 5km to 10km and are designed for comfort: they start and end near MRT stations, include restroom breaks, and feature flexible mid-way drop-out points. Beyond exploring the island, these regular evening walks provide beneficial physical exercise that keeps you active and energized.
🍽️ Post-Walk Social Dinners: Wind down after our walks over casual, affordable meals at air-conditioned food courts and vibrant hawker centers. It’s the perfect, zero-pressure setting to share stories, connect with fellow members, and turn familiar faces into lasting friends. Our strong social element fosters a sense of belonging and companionship, supporting overall mental health and emotional well-being.

### 🤝 Who Should Join?

Our group is open to adults of all ages, backgrounds, and fitness levels—from working professionals and active seniors to singles looking to socialise. You’ll love this group if you want to:

** Note on Post-Event Ratings **
This event is entirely free and run by dedicated volunteers who contribute their time and effort to bring the community together, so leaving a 5-star rating is the best way to acknowledge our volunteer hosts! If you are unable to rate 5 stars, please skip the rating altogether. To maintain a supportive environment for our volunteer team, members who leave sub-5-star ratings despite this guideline may be removed from the group and future events without further notice.

Our Meetup Message Response Policy
We will not be replying to Meetup messages from 2 hours before the event until the following day, as our hosts will be focused on managing the event and supporting attendees in person. For help during this period, please join our official WhatsApp group. Since we only add members after meeting them in person to keep our WhatsApp community safe, first-time participants should arrive a few minutes early to scan our WhatsApp QR code and gain access to live group support.
