LGBTQ+ special speed friending before Nottingham Pride! First 3 events sold out! All profits donated to Notts LGBT!!
About this Event

Looking to make new friends before Nottingham Pride? 🌈

Soft Launch Social is a chilled and inclusive speed friending event designed to help adults aged 21–35 meet new people in a way that feels welcoming and low pressure!

After our first three events completely sold out(?!), we wanted to create a Pride special focused on helping LGBTQ+ people connect before the big Pride weekend

This event is all about creating a safe space to meet new people, chat, build friendships and hopefully find people to enjoy Pride with this year

All profits from this event will be donated to Notts LGBT and their work in supporting the LGBTQ+ community in Nottingham!


Coming alone is completely normal at SLS, most people do and this is exactly what its here for. The event is structured to make conversations feel easier, with guided rounds, conversation prompts and breaks throughout the evening

✨ What to expect:

  • Friendly 1to1 speed friending rounds
  • Conversation prompt cards included
  • Breaks to grab a drink and chat naturally
  • A relaxed, inclusive atmosphere
  • Space to make genuine new friendships afterwards inc Photobooth and Arcade

🧩 We’ll also have:

  • Fidget toys available
  • Name and contact cards
  • Me there on hand if you need anything at all


📍 Bustler Market, Nottingham
📅 Wednesday 22 July
🕡 6:30pm – 8:30pm

Whether you’re new to Nottingham, want to grow your community, or simply want people to enjoy Pride with this year, we’d love to have you there 🤍
