Do you like high-brow conversation? Then our group is not for you! We are a small, informal, non-fiction book group who meet roughly every couple of weeks and (in theory) discuss one book a month. Although a lot of it is just drinking beer and catching up. Non-fiction does in fact cover loads of topics - not just science!!! Virtually anything goes, from biographies to wars, or psychology to herpetology (just joking about the psychology). We meet every other Tuesday at around 8pm in the Blue Blaz …

This group is for everyone who loves food, socializing, travel and games.  This group continues to evolve and we have now added an events and travel focus to the group as well as enjoying a good nosh.  I have changed the focus of this group a little to encourage more participation by everyone who loves food but don't necessarily cook. This is your opportunity to meet some nice people, share some wonderful food and drink and get to know others with similar interests. So how does this work? We wi …

Hey, this is a group for both Canadians who miss the old country and are living in Edinburgh, or people in Edinburgh who are looking to meet Canadians, whether to talk hockey or just to hear one of us say 'eh' or 'aboot' in real life. We're looking to just meet every now and then for some drinks and to chat about Canadian stuff or whatever. Knowledge of quotes from Canadian Heritage Minutes is a bonus!

Edinburgh Creative Writers Club meets every Monday in Pulp Fiction Books, located at 43 Bread Street, on Mondays. Most people bring something to read and the range style/form, is wide.

Equally you can bring someone else's work, maybe a belove …

It doesn't matter whether you are married, single, in a relationship... You might be a "golf-widow" or just like socialising more than your other half. Everyone is welcome, we all need a group of friends that we can share life's experiences with and the aim of this group is to help to provide that for us all. We're about chats over …

You may be interested health, sport and fitness, you may be interested relaxing, being pampered and having a good munch. This group is for those of you open to a mix of activities with a mix of people.

Are you 45+? Do you avoid being crammed into small noisy pubs where you can't actually talk to people? Would you prefer to do your socialising in smaller groups of up to 20, rather than 90 or 100? Do you like the occasional walk but want to avoid yomping over mountain ranges in fatigues and full backpacks at the weekend? Do you want to be personally welcomed into the group and supported on your first few events? This group aims to provide the occasional reasonably priced fun night or day out, wi …

Hey designer! Aye, you… This is a FREE social group for after work, weekend drinks and other social events for designers and other creatives in Edinburgh. Personally as a designer, design lecturer and design researcher it would be great to get to know more like-minded people in Edinburgh over drinks (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic). I'm sure you would too. My discipline is graphic design/interaction design (with a past career as an illustrator) but it would be great to get a good creative mix …

Anything from a quite drink at the pub, to an adventure weekend! An environment where people can meet, chat and make new connections. Also, don't feel you actually need to be in your 30's- but it gives you a rough I idea of my age and the other people that come for the meet up :)

This is an Edinburgh based group aimed at people in their 20s and 30s who want to go out and make new friends but who find it difficult because of their lifestyle or because they are a bit shy.  This group is designed to help us all meet a wider range of people and I'm really hoping (although it’s not up to me) that on top of coming along to events, people will get to know each other and form friendships independent of the group. To help facilitate that, we have a (totally voluntary), private Fa …

The world of coffee and tea is evolving. No longer just an accompaniment to a good meal or something you slop milk and sugar into, both worlds are becoming innovative in their brewing methods, unique in their serving styles and it's a culture that people have been attracted to for many years now. Edinburgh is at the forefront of a lot of that innovation with coffee shops and tea rooms opening and offering the best and locally sourced ingredients, better menus, authentic atmosphere, and are tappi …
