Let’s Go SocialClub | Sheffield 20’s & 30’s 🎉

Fri
📅 15 May 2026
📍 S1 4HS

🌍 Let’s Go Social Club This isn’t just a Meetup group. It’s a community for people in their 20s & 30s who want more out of life than the same routine every week. If you’ve ever thought: “I need to get out more” “I want better people around me” “I’m bored of doing the same thing every weekend” 👉 You’re exactly who this is for. 🚀 What is Let’s Go? Let’s Go is a fast-growing UK community built around one simple idea: Life is better when you’ve got great people to do things with. So we make that happen. We bring people together through: 🍻 Social nights & meetups 🏔 Hikes & outdoor adventures 🎯 Activities & experiences 🏕 Weekenders & camps ✈️ Trips across the UK & abroad You join for one event… 👉 and suddenly you’ve got plans every week, new group chats, and people to explore life with. ✨ Why people join Most people aren’t lacking options… They’re lacking people to do things with. Friends are busy. Groups drift. And it gets harder to meet new people as you get older. That’s where Let’s Go comes in. ✔ Turn up solo — most people do ✔ Meet like-minded people instantly ✔ Become part of a real, active community ✔ Always have something going on This isn’t awkward networking. This isn’t forced socialising. 👉 It just works. 🎉 What our socials are like Our events are designed to be: ✔ Relaxed ✔ Welcoming ✔ Easy to walk into No cliques. No weird vibes. No pressure. 👋 Hosts there to introduce you 🍻 Good venues & reserved spaces 💬 Conversations that actually flow 😂 A proper social atmosphere You won’t feel like an outsider here — that’s the whole point. 💡 Who it’s for You’ll fit in here if: ✔ You want to meet new people without it feeling forced ✔ Your current circle isn’t on the same wavelength anymore ✔ You’ve moved city or want a fresh start ✔ You’re up for doing more with your time If you’ve got good energy — you’ll do well here. 😬 Coming solo? Good. That’s normal. Over 50% of people come alone, especially to their first event. And within 10 minutes,

Welcome to the Childfree by choice Friends in Sheffield meetup! This group is primarily for people aged 30-49 (but we aren't that strict, if you are child free in your 20s or 50s and like the events, come along!). We gather to enjoy conversations over food, drinks in adult venues. We explore the arts and entertainment scene, and soak up different cultural experiences. Connect with fellow members who enjoy coffee catch ups during the week, staying out late and lazy Sundays because we can.

You can join this group as a parent but we don't hear about your kids. Thanks for understanding. It should go without saying, strictly no under 18s in any circumstances. This group is inclusive, but some parents or people who are childless not by choice may find it isn't for them. No under 18s are allowed for obvious reasons. if you have any questions or concerns drop me (Kerry) a message. People that regularly do not update their invites/don't show to events will be put to non-priority and kept on a waiting list. Our hosts organise events for free, in their time, at their own cost. We aim to make enable connections and community. We are here to support you to do the same, not provide any kind of experience or relationship for you directly, that is on you. Please review with this in mind. Please attend events to get the most out of them, for yourself. We hope you make connections like we did.

Socially Awkward Together – for Introverts & Anxious Humans

Tue
📅 30 Jun 2026
📍 DN2 4AH

Come sit awkwardly with us at our next Doncaster meetup - monthly gathering for weird, introverted, socially anxious humans (limited to 10 people per event) 😅 The location is The Mallard (Frenchgate), which is wheelchair accessible, but If you have any additional accessibility requirements, please let us know in advance. Please avoid eye contact with other members whenever possible. Being weird and socially awkward is highly desirable (but not required). Mumbling, overthinking what to say, and struggling to speak out loud are all perfectly normal forms of communication here. Bonus points if you work in IT, freelance from home, and regularly go 3+ days without speaking to another human. No pressure, no forced socialising, and no expectations to do anything. You can join in, sit quietly, chat to another socially awkward person, stare at your phone all evening, or leave without saying goodbye if you start feeling uncomfortable. We only have one rule: treat others with kindness and respect. If someone seems a little nervous, please be nice to them. For anyone who does want to talk, we’ll have the “A Little More Conversation” card game. It’s very simple - just pick a card and answer one of the three questions. No matter your background, age, or level of social anxiety, you’re welcome here 💙 P.S. If all spots are taken, feel free to join the waiting list, and you'll be notified if someone cancels. And if your plans change, PLEASE do cancel your attendance asap, even if it's only a few hours before the event. It gives someone else the chance to join our small group. If there is someone you wish to bring with you, please encourage them to create a Meetup profile and sign up to the event themselves.

📅 27 Jun 2026
📍 S6 3BZ

A group that brings together and attracts like-minded intellectuals that question things in life - a place to form real, genuine connections. We are a very genuine, authentic, kind, and friendly group where we do what we say. The events are what they stand for and only those very discussions take place. No hidden intentions, very clean, positive and contagious energy. We all live busy, often stressful lives and time is super precious. This group is to eliminate anything bad that is perceived through the senses, even for a while. We often take out what we take in. Yes, it's true! Please come prepared to have real, good quality conversation and be able to speak without feeling any awkwardness. If you are shy, please don’t be shy before coming. It’s not necessary to speak or have the loudest voice in the room. Note - Please don't come here to derogate, demean, laugh and constantly poke fun at each other. The host reserves the right to remove people who deem inappropriate for the clean and positive environment we'll be creating. Confidentiality and privacy is the core element of the group here. If you're unable to RSVP, please leave a text if you'd like to attend. When there are at least three RSVPs or interest to attend, the call will commence for that day. For those showing interest without the RSVPs, the host will inform them. However, we'll have the event for a shorter duration for somewhere around five minutes per person.
