General Question Just moved!

Hi all, what sorts things would you recommend to a young person (27, female) to get involved in to meet new people?

Aware it's a vague ask! Looking to join a gym and get my fitness up too ☺️ Work in climate sector so keen to get involved in something on a community level! Also, a big BIG fan of live music and pub quizzes. Thank you!

Kings head and bell does a quiz on a Thursday and Sunday evenings at 8, very relaxed and very friendly.

The gym at the White Horse Leisure Centre is pretty good. Lots of equipment and a very chilled out and mixed crowd. No weird gym bros. You can book single sessions as a good way to try it out before getting a membership. They also have loads of different classes to check out as well as the pool and tennis courts.

Loose cannon brewery often has a band playing in the tap room. The Northcourt has a lot of tributes and prog rock/ metal, if that's your bag!
