Hey!

I’m moving back to Belfast after seven years away **(eeeek!)**, and so much has changed since I left for uni. I’d love to **re-explore the city and meet new people!**

As we get older, life moves on—people relocate, have kids, get busy with work—and suddenly, making new friends isn’t as easy as it used to be. So I’m thinking about organising **casual social events for women in Belfast. N**othing awkward, nothing corporate — just an easy way to meet new people.

A few ideas so far:

• **A laid-back meetup in a bar or café**—somewhere easygoing where everyone feels welcome.
• **A creative night out**, like paint & sip or cocktail-making—something fun and a bit different.
• **A relaxed coffee morning** for those who prefer a quieter way to meet new people.
• **A casual group walk**—a great way to explore Belfast while chatting along the way.

Would this be something you’d be interested in? And if so, what kind of events actually appeal to you? If anyone **would like to help me get this going**, I’d love to hear from you!

Drop a comment or message me—I’d love to see if this could be something worth doing.

The Belfast Girl Gang group on Facebook does pretty much all of the above. Worth a look!

You should take a look at Hobby Whores for a creative night out. I think it only runs once a month, depending on the organiser, but my wife, her mum and my mum have gone a few times.

They usually have some crafty aspects, sometimes interesting lectures/life stories and food/drinks (I think)

Last few have been at queen's student union.

I believe it's all managed and advertised on Facebook.

I would love to attend but it is a lot of work to organise those types of things. Consider joining Belfast Girl Gone International as an event host, you get training and support too
