Hey everyone! 👋

A few friends and I had planned a day out in London on Thursday, 26th November, with Hyde Park Winter Wonderland as our main destination. We originally booked tickets for 6 people, but unfortunately, 3 friends had to cancel. So, we now have 3 spare Winter Wonderland tickets and thought it would be a great opportunity to meet some new people and make new friends! 😊

Here's what we're thinking for the day:

🌅 Morning plans: We're considering a few options:

- 🤸 A trampoline park for some fun and laughs

- 🔬 The Science Museum

- 🌇 Sky Garden for amazing views of London

🎡 Later in the day: Head to Hyde Park Winter Wonderland to enjoy the rides, festive atmosphere, food, and Christmas vibes!

Nothing is set in stone yet, so we're open to suggestions. If you know any other fun places or activities we could try, feel free to share your ideas. We can discuss everything and make a plan together!

If you're interested in joining us on 26th November, feel free to comment or DM me. You don't need to know anyone beforehand. It's a great chance to meet new people, hang out, and enjoy a fun day in London! 🙌

Let's make it a memorable day! 🎄✨

Hey! I’m 27F based in West London and wondered if anyone would be up for getting together to read plays aloud? I really enjoy immersive reading and reading aloud and think it would be fun to each take a character and read through a play together. I’d love to start with The Barber of Seville by Beaumarchais. Nothing serious just casual and no acting experience needed, just a relaxed and fun way to get into a story and meet some people!
Haven’t figured out a meeting place yet or logistics yet

EDIT: There’s some interest. PM me I’ll set up a WhatsApp or discord group to talk logistics :)

Hi guys, I'm going to a ticketed mahjong session for newbies on 8th Nov in Southwark for those who are keen to learn how to play the game (& will be a great way to meet some cool people w/ genuine conversations) - excited to hopefully go with some of you from this group for the event.

DM me if you're keen on going :)

(PS: I know the hosts and have attended their first event too)

What is it?

Europe’s largest immersive art experience, where the lines between art and reality blur.

Step through the portal into Absurd City, a parallel world filled with surreal installations, hidden surprises and mind-bending visuals.

This non-linear, self-guided experience is designed to spark imagination, whatever your age or ability.

There’s no right or wrong way to explore! Get involved in the story, hunt for hidden secrets, or simply enjoy an out-of-this-world day trip.

It's from the people who do this for Boomtown (festival). It comes highly recommended from some people who I spoke to who are sort of connected to the Boomtown side of it

Outing details:

We're going on Sat 12th Dec at around 1pm/1:30pm (two slots, some of the group are going for one, others for the other). We'll all be together once inside. You do your own adventure, or in small groups, but it will be nice to have friendly faces around. We're maybe 10 to 20 people so far

With the code ABSURD10, tickets are about £20.60 which you can book at the link above

There's a WhatsApp group for this event and also a general group for interactive and immersive theatre. Links can be shared via PM

I’m not sure who came up with this idea or how long the festival has been running, but it sounds great! I’m planning to go on one of the days, it would be cool to have someone to go with. (38m, looking for +/- 10 yrs ish politically engaged people ✌️)
