London 20 & 30s Community | The Great Friendship Project

August is here, and to kick off the first weekend of peak summer, we’re back with another Social Walk and Pub Trip, exclusively for 20s and 30s.

And for this latest Sunday walk, we’ll be once again visiting one of the most popular walking spots in East London, Greenwich Park.

As always, before heading off on the hike, you'll be allocated a group/team for an initial mix of fun and light-hearted games to help break the ice and help you get to know your fellow walkers a little better.

After the games and everyone is warmed up for walk, we’ll then set off on our 2-3 hour hike through some of south east London's most popular hiking spots.

From the green bushy pastures of Blackheath, we will wander into Greenwich Park taking in some of the most famous views overlooking London and the Old Royal Observatory along the way.

We will then venture past the historic sailing ship, the Cutty Sark, through the Greenwich Foot Tunnel and along the canals of the Isle of Dogs to Canary Wharf.

When we've reached Canary Wharf, we will then finish up at a pub nearby where you can grab a drink, play some games and get to know your fellow hikers a bit better.

As always, owing to the size of the venue, we will be having to cap numbers for this event, and so do make sure you nab your place as soon as you can!

WHERE/WHEN WE WILL MEET

We don’t do boring Wednesdays - and on 6th August, we’ll be cranking things up with something a little bit special with our first ever "Boots Up".

Yep, that’s right - for one night only, we’ll be having our very own country-style line dancing hoedown, exclusively our community.

To make it happen, we’re partnering with the brilliant folks at Line Dance Fit to bring you an evening packed with music, movement, laughter, and plenty of feel-good vibes.

If you’ve never tried line dancing before - don’t worry, it’s fun, inclusive, and super easy to pick up.

You’ll follow simple, repeated steps (no partner required!) to upbeat country tracks, guided by an expert instructor who’ll keep things light, energetic, and beginner-friendly.

Not only is it a brilliant way to shake off the midweek slump, try something totally different, and meet friendly new faces - it also burns as many calories as a 30-45 minute run!

And once the dancing wraps up, there’ll be time to cool off and grab a drink with the rest of your new country crew.

This should be a great high-energy evening of social fun and best of all, you can join us for just £6.85pp!

So dust off your dancing boots (or just turn up in trainers – we don’t judge), and join us for this!

WHERE/WHEN

To start the event, we will be meeting at the venue from 7:30pm for drinks beforehand.

However, we'd ask that you arrive no later than 7:50pm, so that we can get the dancing started on time.

By popular demand, on Friday 8th August - we’re really excited to be hosting our latest Silent Disco Party, exclusively for 20s and 30s.

Yep that’s right, over the last few months, we've had a huge number of requests for another of these parties and we've listened!

To start the night in style, we've booked out an area at a nearby pub in Liverpool Street to give you chance to grab a drink and get to know some of our community a little better.

When you've had chance to loosen up for the night ahead, we'll then be heading to our very own Silent Disco Party, exclusively for our community.

If you’ve never been to a silent disco, think of it as an amazing club night… with the same energy, dancing, and fantastic music – but with a twist.

Instead of the music being controlled by a single DJ, everyone will receive their own personal set of wireless headphones and you'll have 3 channels to choose from, giving you complete control over the music and the volume!

But these aren't generic music channels, as they'll be controlled by our resident DJ team - who'll be up against one another in an epic "Battle of the DJs".

Each have prepared a playlist of some of the very best tunes, from club anthems, pop classics and epic party mixes, all designed to win your attention and get you dancing.

And best of all, whilst silent discos that take place in the capital can cost over £30, we've managed to secure an amazing deal, so that you can enjoy this whole night of amazing music and great company for just £4.85!

It’s sure to be an unforgettable night, so dust off your dancing shoes and join us for this!

WHERE/WHEN

It’s that time again! With August now upon us, we're hugely excited to be hosting our latest Social Pub Quiz, exclusively for 20s and 30s.

Yep that's right, every month we host latest our very special creative and quirky pub quiz in Central London, just for our community.

And as always, our crack team of quizmasters have concocted a range of entertaining and social quiz rounds, each designed to challenge your wit and intelligence with a range of fun and fascinating questions.

And we'll also be throwing in some fun team games designed to test your speed, creativity and teamwork - with previous quizzes featuring everything from crafty challenges, poetry duels to Marmalade Sandwich time trials!

Best of all, we have some amazing prizes up for grabs and so don't miss out on what promises to be a memorable afternoon of quizzing, socialising, and friendly competition.

Unfortunately as the pub can only fit a limited number of us in for the quiz and so as always, places will be offered on a first come, first serve basis.
