Description
📅 Saturday 6th March, 11am – 1pm at The Met (M20 2WS)
☕ Join us for a relaxed and welcoming retirees social in South Manchester ~ designed for retired (and semi- retired!) locals. With so many fascinating retired professionals living locally, this is a lovely opportunity to build new connections and enjoy good company.
🫖 Whether you’ve recently retired or are simply looking to widen your social circle, this event is a chance to meet like-minded people in a friendly and low-pressure environment. Most people come by themselves, so you’ll be in excellent company if you do.
🤗 Jo will be there to greet everyone and make introductions, helping you get to know locals from Didsbury and the surrounding area.
🍰 Expect coffee, conversation, games and thoughtful activities designed to help people get to know each other naturally.
🎴 We’ll have conversation cards on the tables when you arrive to help spark interesting discussions and skip the small talk.
🧩 There’ll also be puzzles, quizzes, board games and light team activities throughout the morning ~ designed to make it easier to chat, laugh and connect with new people.
🎲 You’re free to move around different tables during the event, meet a variety of people and join whichever conversations or games appeal to you most.
📅 This event is hosted annually to create a space for retired people across South Manchester to form new friendships, discover shared interests and find people to enjoy things with throughout the year ahead ~ whether that’s walks, coffee catch-ups, theatre trips, lunches, travel, culture, sport or simply good conversation.
🥐 Drinks and food will be available to purchase throughout the morning, including both caffeinated and non-caffeinated options.
👕 Dress code: whatever makes you feel most comfortable and confident.
Who’s welcome?
Anyone retired or semi-retired looking to meet new people in South Manchester. You’re very welcome to come alone (most people do) or bring a friend along if you’d prefer.
🤗 It’s completely normal to feel slightly nervous attending something new alone ~ but the event is designed to be warm, relaxed and easy to settle into. If you have any questions, please get in touch at burton.road.network@gmail.com
🎫 We are not able to refund tickets within seven days of the event, but will always try to accommodate cancellations prior to this. If you contact us within 48 hours of the event, we’ll offer the option to transfer your ticket to another event.
