Liverpool Anti-Dating App Social (20s/30s/40s)

Liverpool Anti-Dating App Social (20s/30s/40s)

Thu
📅 Every thursday
📍 L1 4HR

Who’s bored of dating apps and ready to take things back old school? We think it’s about time too. Remember that feeling of locking eyes across the bar with a stranger you fancy? That moment when you would finally get chatting? Getting to know them face-to-face rather than over an app? So delete your dating apps, bring your friends (or rock up solo - SO many people do this, so don't feel nervous), and let's make dating human again... What to expect: \- A 'Dutch Courage' Card to do with someone you've just met in the room. This is totally optional, so don't worry if this isn't your thing \- Live music \- we'll be hosting the finest local talent in Liverpool to welcome you into this safe space \- In our opinion\, one of the best DJs in Liverpool\, so dancing is on the cards for anyone who's up for it \- A room where everyone is single\. That's one of the only rules we have \- you must be single to enter in\. This is our singles club\. A space free of couples\, families\, kids etc\, a place just for us to let our hair down and be with like\-minded people Follow us on Instagram: @boredofdatingappsevents As long as you're over 18, EVERYONE IS WELCOME, whatever your sexuality or gender. We will have (optional) stickers on the night to write down what you're into and looking for. Note: This is not speed dating. This is a mixer and we want it to feel like a typical night out - only, everyone in the room is single. We cannot control on the night the level of ratios (men to women, women to women, men to men etc), so please do bear this in mind when booking a ticket. We do however try very hard to get a great, wide mix of ages, genders and sexualities, as we want everyone to have a fantastic night. Our Instagram is @boredofdatingapps if you'd like to check out what to expect at our social. We're excited to see you there! Any questions about the night, just message! :) Jess x Instagram: @boredofdatingapps

Turks in Liverpool (20s & 30s)

Sat
📅 22 Aug 2026
📍 L1 5BG

A social group for Turks in Liverpool in their 20s & 30s Whether you’ve just moved to Liverpool, have been here for years, or are simply looking to meet other Turkish people around your age, this group is for you. The idea is simple: make friends, build a community, and have a good time together. We’ll organise relaxed meetups such as: 🍺 After-work drinks ☕ Coffee catch-ups 🍽️ Brunches and dinners 🎳 Bowling, quizzes and games nights 🎶 Live music and cultural events 🚶 Weekend walks and day trips * 🎉 Seasonal celebrations and the occasional spontaneous night out You don’t need to know anyone beforehand—many members will be coming on their own. Everyone is welcome, whether you’re a student, a young professional, or somewhere in between. The group is primarily for people in their twenties and thirties who have a Turkish background or connection to Turkey. Friends and partners are welcome to join selected events too. Liverpool has a growing Turkish community, so let’s create a space where we can meet new people, speak a bit of Turkish (or English!), share recommendations, and enjoy everything the city has to offer together. Come along for a drink, stay for the friendships. Görüşürüz!

Liverpool girls

Sat
📍 L1 5BG

Hi gals ❤️ Making friends /mates as an adult is probably harder than it should be, when everyone’s busy, knackered from work, life gets in the way and then before you know it, months have passed without doing anything social Thought it’d be nice to start a little Liverpool girls group for anyone who fancies getting out a bit more and meeting some people. Perhaps the odd night out, walks, cinema, coffee, food, or even just a yap over a beer after work.

North-West-Hikers

North-West-Hikers

Sat
📍 L5 8TY

NW Hikers — monthly hiking group for people in their 20s and 30s across the North West nw-hikers.co.uk We built this because we couldn't find one worth joining. One hike a month, somewhere genuinely good. The Lakes, the Peaks, Snowdonia, the Pennines. Everything is sorted before you arrive: meeting point, what to bring, what the day looks like. Every walk ends in a pub, and that part has never once been optional. The walks are challenging without being extreme. Typically 12–18km with a decent amount of climbing. You don't need fell-running experience, just reasonable fitness and boots that can handle rough ground. First time coming? An existing member will find you at the car park and walk with you from the start. Aaron will message you beforehand with everything you need to know. You won't be left figuring it out. The group is for people in their 20s and 30s. That age range exists because it's what makes the dynamic work. I've seen enough mixed-age groups dissolve to know the difference. Six hours on a fell does something to conversation that a Friday night out never quite manages. The post-walk pub is where people actually get to know each other. Run by Aaron, based on the Wirral. First hike: Saturday 11th April, Lake District.
