Hey u/LondonLadies

Maria here! I’ve posted about Girly Wine Night a few times and so many of you found us through this sub, so thought I’d share a little update!!

For anyone who hasn’t come across us, I started this after moving to London and realising that making friends as an adult is weirdly hard. It was very much “surely it’s not just me??” and apparently it was not 😂

What’s making me SO happy now is seeing girls arrange their own coffees, brunches and little meetups in the WhatsApp. Members have been getting involved in hosting things too. People are getting to know eachother outside of the events, which is literally why I started this in the first place 🥹

With autumn coming, I’d love more of that. People to grab a coffee with, go for a walk, do somthing after work when the alternative is sitting at home wondering how it’s already dark.

Also, a little suggestion for anyone lurking in a group chat waiting for plans to happen… put an actual little plan out there! “I’m going for a coffee on Saturday at 10, anyone fancy joining?” gives people something to say yes to.

Our WhatsApp community is completely free to join, and you don’t need to buy a ticket to anything to be part of it. Join the smaller plans, suggest your own, come along when something takes your fancy. And despite the name, you absolutely don’t need to drink!

We don’t share the WhatsApp link publicly because of bots. I love a new member but I do draw the line at a robot trying to sell us crypto 😂 Just leave a little “me please” below and I’ll DM it over!

For anyone who prefers having something organised to turn up to, our next one is a pub quiz on Wednesday 7th October at Fidelio in Farringdon, 7pm to 10.30pm. We’ll sort the teams, so you don’t need to bring one! Loads of the girls come on their own, please don’t feel like you need to find a friend before coming to make friends.

That one is £27, including an alcohol-free welcome drink, another glass of wine or non-alcoholic wine, and charcuterie / snacks. Details are here.

Also, please share any other lovely groups or regular meetups you’ve found, especially free or low-cost ones! Would be nice for the comments to become a little collection of things people can actually go along to, not just our stuff.

Thanks again for being such a big part of this, you guys are the best x
