Meeting people in Invercargill, answered

How do I meet people in Invercargill?

Pick something that repeats every week and go twice. This week there's also Wednesday Quiz Night at Waxy's, Student Jam 3.0 - Students takeover Open Mic Night and More FM Southland's Biggest Quiz Night with GWD Motor Group.

Can I go on my own?

Yes: everything here is the kind of thing people go to alone, from trivia nights that put you on a team to walking tours where everyone's a stranger at the start. The weekly nights at hotels and hostels are open to everyone, not just their guests.
