Things to do with friends
"We should do something" usually ends at the same pub or the same sofa. These ideas give your group an actual plan — pick based on how much time you've got.
Got an hour?
Quick catch-ups that beat the default. No planning, just pick one and go.
- • Get a coffee at a cafe none of you have been to
- • Call that friend you haven't spoken to in months — together, on speaker
- • Walk down a street in your town you've never been down
- • Buy a fruit none of you have tried and taste-test it
- • Go and watch the sunset somewhere high up
- • Charity shop challenge: everyone buys something under £3
- • Order something you've never had at a takeaway and share it
Got a day?
Proper days out together — the ones you'll actually talk about afterwards.
- • Go for a swim together
- • Bake a cake from scratch — one of you reads the recipe, one does the work
- • Visit a town or village nearby that none of you have been to
- • Cook a dish from a country you've never eaten food from
- • Have a picnic in a park you've never visited
- • Go for a bike ride somewhere new
- • Visit a museum or gallery you keep meaning to go to
- • Go to a quiz night at a local pub
Want a regular thing?
Start something together that could become your group's weekly ritual.
- • Book a beginner pottery class as a group
- • Join a local parkrun and run it together
- • Try a taster session at a climbing wall
- • Sign up for a beginner dance class together
- • Learn to cook bread and bake your first loaves
- • Join a five-a-side or social sports team
