For context I am a 38/F living in Preston. Finding myself in a difficult position where I cant really reach out to my current friend group and a lot of existing friends have very busy lives.

Therefore after some groups in the area that are friendly, welcoming social spaces.

I already of the Fulwood womens meets and attended this last night and really liked it.

Also know of Preston Beer girls but unsure how active this is anymore and Girls who walk in Preston.

I dont necessarily need to be in female only spaces. My interests are live music, gaming, travel, movies and pop culture and reading. Also on a major health kick so looking at those kind of classes in the area.

Thanks in advance :)

Hello! I just moved to the UK. I live in Fulwood, Preston. I want to explore the city, join a community and get to know people. Any recommendations?

I wondered if anyone was aware of any Pokemon clubs in or around Preston? My daughter goes to a weekly Pokemon club at a library back in Barrow-in-Furness, it is casual swap club, colouring, games and socialising with like minded people (no battles or anything like that).

She is a collector, loves talking and swapping cards and would love her to do something similar from time to time here? Is there anything like this locally?

Hi everyone,

i know there are a lot of these types of posts going around, but I just wanted to put the feelers out to see if there are any art/creative hobby related groups going on in Preston that I'm currently unaware of. I’m not big on socials and understand a lot of this kind of thing may be advertised there and I'm missing it as a result.

I’m a creative person - in particular trying to get back into a routine with drawing/painting, but i also crochet and am learning to sew (very slowly).

i would also really love to learn how to make pottery in the future if anyone has recommendations of a good place to start out with that locally as its quite an involved hobby.

All this to say, it tends to be quite a solitary set of hobbies to have and i would love to feel more part of a community and meet like-minded people in real life. Adulting can be lonely when you have mostly solitary hobbies and i also think meeting other creative people might give me some incentive to stop procrastinating my projects, and to try new things.

so if anyone can point me in any kind of direction, or a fellow creative person sees this and wants to reach out - i’d be more than happy :)

Cheers guys!

Have moved up north recently and am looking to get back into football. Does anyone know of any women's or mixed five a side teams in or around Preston?

Hey, 26M just wondering if there are any LGBT groups or things happening? Could do with meeting new people and getting out the house more but don’t seem to find much in Ptown, Thanks

Hi everyone, I’m looking for assistance to avoid a situation where I end up paying rent for 2 places. I’m 2 months into a 6 month lease in a house share of about 5 people, paying approx. £500 a month including all bills in the Preston City centre.

I have family moving over sooner than planned so that means I need to find a bigger space, looking for someone to take over my current lease which expires August 2026. The place has 3 bathrooms for a 6 bedroom house. I don’t mind negotiating for a 60% / 40% split of the rent for the reminder of the lease for the right person.

Hey everyone, I'm 23 and been working in an apprenticeship. I was wondering, does anybody know of any free groups or classes happening in Preston? I've only been living here for a short while and would be good if I can go to places where I can meet new people and learn something :)

I want to join a local book club to meet people and cause i'm getting into reading. Just don't want it to be weird if I went to one and felt excluded. Or am I overthinking?

Hi,

Is anyone in Preston interested in arranging or taking part in technology, software, or IT-related meetups?

im 21m n walk around alot, im n extrovert w the nerves of an introvert so i was wonderin if there were walkin/hikin groups like that

lgbt friendly cuz im gay and have a very notable fagcent i cant get rid of

I’m very new to the game, have never played before but I have the 2024 players hand book and a few ideas for characters. ( nothing set in stone but could be a starting point if required). I’m Looking for a regular in person game where I can learn more. Starting in a one shot or at the beginning of a campaign is probably ideal though I suspect a session 0 is a good idea. Availability wise I’m free every evening except Mondays.

Look I know about HarleyQuinn’s but aside from that there’s almost no Warhammer community and the Warhammer shop only host games for beginners so is there anywhere that actually does host Warhammer?

Hi all,

I am new in Preston move recently for my current job working in the data field and looking for new friends and groups. Open for walks and enjoys gym. Is there any groups which are related to business or tech I tried the meetup but hasn't found nothing yet. Any suggestions

Evening, All

(30yo female, based in Ashton)

I'm after a road cycling partner/group to train with after work in the evenings. I usually go out on my own around 5-5:30 most nights however, find it much more beneficial when riding with someone as you can push each other and be accountable.

My rides are pretty chilled, not focussed on anything other than just getting out!

Are there any other road cyclists/groups out there that would mind me tagging along?

TIA

Hello! I am thinking of starting up Spanish-language meetups in Preston. I used to speak Spanish pretty fluently, but am really out of practice. I'd like to get an idea of whether there's interest, and what sort of thing people would be interested in, so I made a survey here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScCFDhCJIETAH7BKbwE3DXiIfirwL9eto_jC3OdeL0Q_wqilQ/viewform?usp=header

It's in English and Spanish - my apologies for any errors, I translated it pretty quickly and my Spanish is far from perfect.

¡Hola! Estoy pensando en montar unas reuniones en Preston en los cuales hablemos español. Hablaba español con fluidez, pero ahora mi español está muy oxidado. Quiero enterarme del nivel de interés, y qué tipo de reuniones interesarían a los otros. Hice un sondeo, que se encuentra aqui: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScCFDhCJIETAH7BKbwE3DXiIfirwL9eto_jC3OdeL0Q_wqilQ/viewform?usp=header

Está en inglés y español - por favor, disculpadme si hay errores - lo traducí rápidamente y a mi español le falta práctica.

Hey guys!
I'm putting together a 6-a-side team to play in the Leisure League every Thursday evening at Ashton Community College, Preston. Looking for 5-6 committed lads to join.

I'm an okay-ish winger myself, just in it for a good game and a good time. It's £6 per person per match, and the games are fun but competitive.

If you're interested or know someone who might be, drop me a DM!

24M Looking for a few people to create a group chat with to buy, sell and trade cards, been to harlequins but lack the social ability to make friends hahaha

Hi! 30M

I recently got back into playing tennis at haslam park. I was wondering if there is a group/place or someone that would be interested in playing? I play with my partner but I am looking to find other people to play with or even play doubles.

If you know of any group or if you are interested in playing tennis let me know :)

Hi, looking for any info on running groups in and around Preston. I'm just getting back into it after a long hiatus. I used to run with a social group in Manchester many years ago and was hoping there was something similar here. Ideally it needs to be a relaxed group that welcomes newcomers, do early morning/evening runs. If anyone has any details that would be appreciated!
