Meeting people in Queenstown, answered

How do I meet people in Queenstown?

Pick something that repeats every week and go twice. This week there's also Boozy Bingo followed by Mitch EP, Open Mic Night and Queenstown Open Mic.

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 Queenstown. Where do I start?

Choose "Staying a while" above: the weekly nights come first, because going back is how strangers become friends. New to Queenstown plans your first month, one week at a time.
