London 20 & 30s Community | The Great Friendship Project

Back by popular demand - on 21st August, we’ll be kicking off your weekend with our latest Friday Night Bowling Social 🎳

Yep that's right... we'll be heading back to one of the best value activities in the whole of London, Duckpin Bowling at Brewdog in Waterloo for another evening of bowling and social drinks.

If you've never heard of Duckpin Bowling, it is a variant of traditional bowling that's seen incredible growth of popularity over the last few years.

The rules of the game are very similar to standard bowling, with bowlers trying to knock down pins in the fewest rolls over 10 frames.

However, with lighter balls, shorter lanes and smaller pins, with Duckpin Bowling you'll need even more precision and skill to get a strike.

Best of all, it is one of the cheapest Bowling experiences in the whole of London at just £8.35pp ❤️

Places are limited though and will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis and so if you would like to join us for this, do RSVP as soon as possible!

However, we'd kindly ask that you arrive no later than 8:10pm, so that we can head over together in time for the experience.

On Sunday 23rd August, we're hugely excited to be hosting our latest FREE Board Games Afternoon, exclusively for 20s and 30s.

Yep, that's right - we're back with another weekend games afternoon and we've booked out a big private space in central London.

We don’t do boring Wednesdays, so to spice up your work week, we’ll be heading out on our latest midweek social adventure 🔥

Yep and for this latest activity night, we're heading back to one of the most popular venues in the capital - Flight Club in Angel.

To kickstart the night - we've booked out some tables at the venue - so you can have some drinks, meet and connect before the experience.

If you've never been to Flight Club before, each oche is kitted out with cutting edge dart-tracking technology and automatic electronic scoring designed to bring the game of darts into the 21st Century 🎯

Not only does the technology take the stress out of scoring, but it also offers a range of fast and exciting multi-player games that you can play on this interactive dartboard.

From "killer darts" to "snakes and ladders", over the course of the evening we'll be enjoying plenty of competitive fun and putting our darts skills to the test 🏆

Best of all, whilst a night at Flight Club would typically cost you £17pp... we've secured an amazing discount - so this entire evening of social fun for just £6.50pp!

The places are very limited and so we will be offered on a first come, first serve basis - and so if you are keen to join, please do RSVP as soon as you can!

So that you can warm up your singing voice and get to know those you will be singing with later on in the evening a little better, we've booked out a private room at a nearby pub.

So there'll be plenty for you to sing along to, as well as plenty of 20s and 30s to make the night memorable.
