Meeting people in New Plymouth, answered
How do I meet people in New Plymouth?
Pick something that repeats every week and go twice. This week there's also Quiz Night at Peggy Gordon's Celtic Bar, Wednesday Quiz Night at Crowded House and Bikes, BBQ & Hot Cars at Crowded House.
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.
I've just moved to New Plymouth. Where do I start?
Choose "I live here" above: your first month in New Plymouth, planned one week at a time, then the weekly nights, because going back is how strangers become friends.
