What we’re about
Welcome to the South Manchester Meetup Group!
I created this group because I noticed a lack of meetup options in South Manchester and wanted to start more events in the area! Events will be diverse and inclusive, ranging from Drinks, coffee mornings, walks and other fun activities.
We value your input, so feel free to suggest any ideas for future meetups.
If you'd like to stay connected and join our WhatsApp group, just let me know!
Looking forward to meeting you all!
Upcoming events (4+)
See all- Games Night at Benito Lounge, ChorltonBenito Lounge, Manchester
Join us every two weeks for an evening of fun, food and friendly company at Benito Lounge, Chorlton. We play everything from casual party games to the latest in cutting edge strategy. It's an evening guaranteed to stimulate and entertain!
We don't charge for this event and there's no need to book, just come along on the night. If you're new to board games, people are always happy to explain the rules and get you up to speed. If you can't make it on time, games start throughout the evening. Turn up when it's good for you and we'll fit you in somewhere!
Typically, 30-50 attend with 5-10 games in progress at any time. Don't pay too much attention to how many sign up here. This event is advertised on Facebook and multiple meetup groups. Many regulars don't sign up at all!
Some of the Games We've Played
Coup - Concordia - Code Names - Decrypto - War of the Ring - Beyond the Sun - Heat: Pedal to the Metal - Cryptid - Wingspan - So CloverAnd many more!
Like many games nights, we are entirely dependant on the games people bring. So, if you have some favourites you think you can teach, please do! <3
