- Games and social mixers: murder mystery nights, pub quizzes, speed friending, board game cafe nights, and retro sports days.
- Nightlife and pub meetups: weekend pub crawls, craft beer nights, live music, and comedy across Stokes Croft, Southville and the city centre.
- Sober socials and cafe culture: coffee meetups, pottery and craft workshops, book clubs, and independent cinema trips.
- Food and drink: brunch meetups, Sunday roasts, wine tasting, and local food market tours.
- Safe and inclusive spaces: LGBTQ+ socials and women-only friend-making groups.
…Coming to Your First Meetup Alone?
Most of our members come to their first event on their own. You will not be left scanning the room for a group of strangers. Every Socialise gathering has a named host who meets you at the door, introduces you around, and makes sure you are not standing on your own.
Group Guidelines and Safety
- Strictly platonic: a space to make genuine friends, not a dating app or a singles night.
- Member privacy: please do not message other members online unless you have met them at an event in person first.
- No drama: be yourself. Zero tolerance for harassment, drama or disrespect.
- Media consent: we take photos and video at events for social media. Tell your host on arrival if you would rather not appear in them.

Coffee & Chinwag: CoffiCo Penarth
Rhostio Coffee Roasters, 16C Crwys Rd,, Cardiff, GBWe're back at Rhostio for some rooftop caffeine under the sun!
This is a lovely venue when the sun's out, as you've lots of space to splay out across the roof. Join us for a drink, maybe a slice of cake, and a chilled afternoon of easy conversation.
As for if it rains? Well the interior's (almost) as nice!Please update your RSVP if you can't make it - keeping a spot on the event and not turning up is unfair to those on the waitlist
Please do support the venue by purchasing at least one drink or snack.
New and/or feeling nervous? Don't worry! I'll be watching the comments/messages and will be happy to get you comfortable and introduce you!How to find us:
I will be waiting downstairs for 15 minutes to greet everyone, to then move upstairs after that time. Please refer to WhatsApp if you can’t find us.Please note that no-shows who haven't amended their RSVPs before the event may be warned before being kicked from the book and banned from future events. We hate to be harsh with this, but we need to keep things fair for people on the waiting list.
