More Than Small Talk | Manchester Conversation Social for 20s & 30s

More Than Small Talk

Ever been at a social where you want to meet new people, but somehow end up having the same “So, what do you do?” conversation five times?

More Than Small Talk is a conversation social for people in their 20s & 30s who simply enjoy talking, sharing ideas, hearing different perspectives and meeting new people.

We'll be taking over a cosy space in a Manchester bar for an afternoon of guided conversation in small groups. You'll be seated at tables of around 4–6 people, with conversation cards there to get things going.

The questions can take you anywhere. Some are thoughtful, some are curious, some might spark a light debate and others are just fun. You decide how deep or light you want your conversations to be! There's no pressure to share anything you don't want to.

Every 25 minutes, our host will ring the bell and the tables will rotate, giving you a new group of people to talk to. Across four rounds, you'll have the chance to meet plenty of different faces from a wider group of people.

This isn't therapy, networking or dating. It's simply a space for good, human conversation that goes a little further than the usual small talk. You choose how much you want to share and where the conversation takes you.

Come curious, listen to each other, share your perspective and be open to hearing someone else's. Kindness and respect are an integral part of this social.

🍻 Drinks

The bar has kindly allowed us to use their space. If you can, we'd encourage you to grab a drink from the bar while you're there and support the venue that makes events like this possible.

And when the structured part finishes, there's no need to rush off. You're welcome to stick around, grab another drink and carry on chatting with anyone you've met.

Come offline. Find good company. 🧡
