Socials

Welcome to our Socials page where you’ll find out about our upcoming day trips, nights out and adventure activities around Nottingham and Derby. We aim to fill the calendar with varied and fun events so if you want an event adding or have any ideas, please email the Social Coordinator.

Regular pub meets are held once a month in either Derby, Nottingham or Beeston. These are great fun whether you’re new or have been with the group for years. Share stories of walks, have a drink and catch up with friends.

Group meals are held regularly in Derby and Nottingham. We try to vary the choice (and cost) of cuisine on offer so keep checking back and see if there are any meals you fancy. If you’d like to see your favourite restaurant on there, tell us about it!

One off events are always welcomed. Fancy horse-riding, ice skating, Go Ape? If you want it, just tell us and we’ll make it happen.

See you in the pub soon!
