Belonging in the West: Find Your Next Gathering
Our events are the heartbeat of OutWest. From the buzz of a busy games night to the quiet connection of a peer group, these gatherings are designed to bring our community together in ways that feel natural and easy.
Whether you are walking through our doors for the first time or are a familiar face at every meetup, we welcome you! Our events offer the freedom to be yourself, meet like-minded people, and enjoy a sense of positive, rural connection.
Our Regular Socials: A Rhythm of Connection
We host a variety of recurring events that offer a consistent way to stay in touch with the community. Whether you’re looking for a night of laughter or a space for deeper conversation, there’s a seat for you.
- Social & Creative: Our Games Nights and Film Evenings are the perfect way to meet new people. They are informal, fun, and centred around shared interests.
- Support & Wellbeing: We facilitate Peer Support Groups and Information Sessions on vital topics such as mental and sexual health. These are safe, confidential spaces led by shared understanding.
- Online & Accessible: Distance shouldn’t be a barrier to community. Our Online Book Club and virtual hangouts mean you can join the conversation from your own living room, anywhere in the West.
