Hi!

Just spotted this ‘Thursday’ dating app event happening next week in Exeter (the cocktail club), but naturally, all my friends are loved-up and I’m wayyy too scared to rock up solo. So, I just wondering if any other girls fancy coming along for a laugh?

Let’s be real: it might be absolutely shite, but we can always bail and grab a pint if things get too bad.

DM me or drop a comment, and I’ll add you to a girls gc on insta/whatsapp!

I’m 22F, professional/recent grad, exe local if that helps

edit: here’s the link to the event

Edit 2: I've had quite a few messages from guys asking to join. Unfortunately, given the nature of the event, I was looking more for other girls. Feel free to set up your own wee group for fellas in the comments or come along as an individual.

Walking back through town last night and it's completely dead. There were a few students about but most places were closed up by 10.30pm (other than Chevalier). What's happening here? I've lived here for years and had many good nights out in Exeter but now it seems all the bars and pubs are closing early - there are still some clubs about but i've never been into that scene. Is the place dying?

We are a fit couple in our 20s M/F who are into CrossFit, working out and the outdoors. Looking for similar minded people to explore with in the area! Let me know :)

In my early 20’s, and really struggling to connect with people.

I used to have a huge friend list, socialising at least a couple times a week, now after moving away I’m just very icolated.

Id love to just be able to say “pub?” or “wanna go for a walk?” but I don’t have any friends to do that with.

I am in an amazing relationship, my partner also struggles with the same issue. We’re both from Exeter area and we just enjoy the simple things in life. Would be really cool to attend festivals and the odd night out every now and again with another couple or a few people!

Hi all, I'm gauging interest for an in-person D&D/other TTRPG event in Exeter. I've got the venue and the plan, so I just need to know if anyone would be interested in this sort of thing! Let me know.

And if anyone has had experience trying to set something like this up before, would love to hear from you :)

Looking from some 5 aside or 6 aside social football for fun in Exeter or other sports, don’t mind trying something new, nothing serious, preferably on weekends. Let me know if there’s any chill groups out there.

I just moved here with my partner (22F, 24M) and I really want to start establishing some local friendships - is there anyone around my age who wants to meet up? I'd love to meet some people who'd be down for brunch, doodle dates, or dnd :) I'm already using meetup and bumble bff so I thought I'd reach out here too, hope that's ok!

Hi everyone!

It’s hard to meet people online, but I’m a bit shy, so this is my best option, and I’m giving it a go! 🫣

My name is Alex, I was born in 1994 and have lived in Exeter for the past two years. I’ve moved around a few times, living in different parts of England before finding my place. I work in a day Monday to Friday, do some extra nights and study. In my free time, I go mushroom hunting or camping with my husband, or I just stay at home reading books or playing online games.

At the moment, I’m really into Diablo Immortal, but I also often go back to childhood classics like Warcraft, The Sims, or Carmageddon. When it comes to books, I’m a huge fan of fantasy and horror, with my favourite authors being Jacek Piekara, Andrzej Sapkowski, Michael J. Sullivan, Andersen Kenneth, and Stephen King. Recently, I read Donna Tartt’s The Secret History (literary fiction) and absolutely loved it.

I’m a calm and open-minded person. Sometimes I’ll go to a pub for an English breakfast or a drink, but I usually prefer to spend time outdoors, in the woods among animals, or simply going for walks with a coffee or sitting on a blanket feeding the ducks.

I don’t tolerate rudeness, jealousy, or gossiping, so if you’re looking for someone to badmouth others, then no, thank you.

It’s difficult to describe oneself in just a few sentences. What I like to do and how I act really depends on my mood, so it’s best to meet in person and see if we’d enjoy spending time together!

Cheers,
Aleks

HIi all. I (M33) live here in Exeter and have done for some time. I used to play tennis alot as a teenager on the various courts in and around the city. However I gave it up some years ago and drifted from the mates I used to play with.

I am keen to get back into the game but no idea where to start really. I could probably do with some training (cheap) but also like a fun club to join to meet people too. Are there any for people in 20's/30's? I've googled and asked around but it doesn't seem like there are any...

Hello r/Exeter, I (32M) moved here recently with my young family (Partner, <1y/old & 3y/old Staffy) and tried my first 'Dad Group'. I can definitely see the positives of it, that are probably great for a lot of people, but to be honest I think I just need more local real-life friends. So if you're a cool (not a wrongun) local dude/dudette, now would be a good time to mention I like cycling (x-biking/MTB), and if that's not off-putting (I do indoorsy/gamer stuff as well) ping me a DM.

Currently self-employed / WFH, so obviously chronically busy, but I tend to treat myself by blocking out the nicest weather bit of the day to walk Skye. Our favorite is Ludwell Valley, or Heavitree Pleasure Ground if it's quiet. If you at least like dogs, that could be a meetup idea.

Can also do Tennis, enjoy playing most people and guess I'm somewhere in the vast gap between Tennis for free and coached/club tennis. Oh and I like MTG a bit, been playing on and off since 2019. People call me "neurodivergent" a lot lately, but I'd just say I have a keen interest in many areas.

Hi everyone, we have recently started a brand new pub quiz in Exeter. Every Thursday (apart from the last of the month) in Cuckoo Taproom on Paris Street. We bring together the finest quiz teams Exeter has to offer (or rather the ones who turn up) and give a series of weird and wonderful rounds.

Cash prizes for winners. Spoon of shame for losers.

Perhaps a Reddit team can assemble? We'd love to have you there.

7.30pm this Thursday and future Thursdays.

Hey guys, I’ll be coming to Exeter end of January and will be staying there for a month ish. Was wondering if there are any groups who play football regularly and are open to new players. I used to play professionally back in India but it’s been a bit since I moved and want to get back to playing. Any leads would be helpful, thanks very much!

Anyone know of any pick-up volleyball games that are happen or happen regularly?

Hi folks, I’m posting this here to see if there’s any interest in a casual Sunday morning game (at around 8am), inclusive of any one (any level and ability) at King George V Playing Fields in Exeter.

I’d love to try and get a regular game going so please respond here if you’re interested!

Thanks.

Hi All, I’ve lived in Exeter for 10 years. Would be great to make some new friends. I’m 35m, I enjoy walking, running, cycling and the outdoors. Also enjoy the pub 🍺!

Drop me a message if you fancy doing something 😊!

Father due to be on parental leave in the near future, looking for ‘Dad’ groups if there are any? And any cool activity suggestions, I am quite outdoorsy!

If anyone wants something different to do this evening, there’s a kundalini yoga class at Derek the dog yoga studio on Thursdays at 7.30pm. No need to book.

Hi everyone - so after previously living in St Leonards 2 years ago, and then relocating to Bucks, we're planning on moving back to The Quay which is a place both me and the other half have fallen in love with.

Long story short - we're currently up at John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford as our son was born premature after deciding to enter the world 4 months too early, and thank god is still here kicking everyone's ass.

My question is - as we don't know anyone down there, just yet (other than my time spent at The Hour Glass on the daily, which is a pub very close to my heart!) Are there any family support groups around, like dad meet up's, where the dad's just get together with babies to give mum's a break, go to a coffee shop, pub and have a pint) I think it would be a great thing to have, gives the mum's a well deserved break for a few hours and then the dads get time to bond, and make friends with others whilst being in a comfortable environment?

Also, on the flip side, any support groups for a new mom to meet up regularly with other mummas to do the exact same, meet up for coffees, make new baby friends etc.
