Socials
The LGBT+ committee runs a mix of regular socials, so there should be something for everyone. Our socials are open to everyone, LGBT+ or not, and they can be a great way to get to know our Committee, meet new people and have some fun in a friendly environment! Below is information about our main events, but we run other events across the year, so be sure to keep up to date with us on social media! Also, if you have any ideas for socials or trips that we aren’t running, let us know your suggestions and we’ll see what we can do!
Coming to one of our events for the first time can be quite daunting - especially if you don’t know anyone else is attending. For bigger events, such as Grapefruit, the Committee runs pres at Bar One, and for events there will be meeting points, where you can find members of the committee. For any events where this is not already in place, feel free to e-mail us beforehand, and we will happily arrange someone to meet with you and walk with you.
For information of how to keep track of all of our socials and goings-on throughout the year, see the Social Media page of this website!

Bar Crawls
In Freshers and Refreshers week, we run a Bar Crawl, which is a great way to make new friends and familiarise yourself with the local bars, especially if you’re new to Sheffield. There will be deals on drinks and more information about dates/times can be found on Facebook and our Website towards the end of August.

Tuesday Socials
Every week (day to be decided) at 9pm, during term time, we run our weekly drinking social. This can be a great way to meet new people, or just have a weekly catch-up with your friends. There are usually drinks offers, so make sure to check out our social media in late August to find out when and where these will be taking place!

Coffee Socials
On Fridays, we run a Coffee and Board games social between 12pm - 2pm, where we provide free cups of tea and coffee (and biscuits, obviously). If tea and coffee aren’t your thing, feel free to bring along snacks and drinks if you’d like to chill with us. We have a selection of board games, but feel free to bring your own too!

As well as this, we run Post-Grad/Mature Student socials, walking trips to the peak district, screenings and activism-related socials, to name a few. We also run a monthly Trans Social, exclusive to those identifying as trans or questioning their gender identity. For more information about this social, see the Trans Welfare pages of the Handbook!
