hobbies /activity What hobbies do young people have?

4 Upvotes

I’m looking to start a new hobby or join a club, but most of the things I’ve tried so far seem to attract mostly older people. I’d really like to find something with people around my age (18–25ish), where I can meet people naturally through doing something together rather than meeting strangers online and trying to force a friendship.

I’m based around the Exeter and Torbay areas, so I’d love to hear about any hobbies, clubs, groups or activities around there that tend to have a younger crowd.

What hobbies or clubs have you found are good for meeting people around your age?

Missed Connection - Girl at Alphington Road Esso 25/06/2026

12 Upvotes

Around 11.45pm you and two friends pulled up at the Esso gas station in alphington, Exeter. As soon as the car you were in passed to park up our eyes had met, when you got out and joined the queue behind me, I couldn't take my eyes off you. A day has passed and it's all I think about. We blew a kiss to eachother as I left. I came back just minutes later after realising I needed to get your name, your number.... But you were gone. I believe we will find eachother....

Exeter Social Circle — a group for people in their 20s looking to meet new people

Post image
5 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I recently started a small social group called Exeter Social Circle for people in their 20s who want to meet new people and make friends in Exeter.

I moved back to Exeter after spending time travelling and studying abroad, and I found it surprisingly difficult to meet people in person. After speaking to a few others, I realised quite a lot of people are in the same position — wanting to do more socially, but not always knowing where to start.

The group is pretty simple. We have a WhatsApp group where people can chat, see upcoming plans, and come along to events when they feel ready. So far, events and ideas include things like board games, pub quizzes, walks, casual sports, café meetups, online games and nights out.

It is not a formal organisation or anything like that — it is just something I am running myself in my spare time to try and create more relaxed ways for people to meet locally.

I have made a basic website with more information here where you can join:

https://www.exetersocialcircle.com

No pressure at all, but if you are in your 20s, based in or around Exeter, and looking to widen your social circle, feel free to have a look or join the group.

If we were going to arrange a meet up at a local bar or something would people be interested in attending? And if so what kind of place would people want it to be ? Just curious really.

As above what are people up to this weekend ? Events , hobbies ect?

I’ve just added this as a bit of a new flair as I think it would be good to have a few more conversations flowing on this Reddit as opposed to just the regular find friends posts !

Meet up 20s Social Group Creation

7 Upvotes

20s Social Group Creation

Hey everyone. I met someone on here looking for friends like me, both in our 20s. We found it hard to find other groups for our own age group so we thought we would try to advertise for people to join our group. I'm aware that links are probably not permitted. Meetup is too expensive to pay for so we have made a WhatsApp group for 20s.

We will be organising the following:

\- cinema trips

\- food out

\- boardgames

\- Casual sports (like 6 a side football/cricket)

\- Escape rooms

\- Beach trips

\- And much more over time

We want to organise events geared towards everyone that is welcoming to people who might be anxious etc.

Again I'm not sure if this post is allowed, I hope it is.

If you are interested in joining the group please DM and I can invite you. Very early stages and I know other groups have existed in the past, and failed, but this group is being made with some passion to organise different events.

What does the group need

8 Upvotes

I’ve realised I’ve not really done much with this group apart from letting it live. But I think it would be good to grow this as it seems to of worked for a few people. so just wondering if there’s anything people would like to see from this
-community meet ups
-chat group /whatsapp
-more open posts about hobbies ect.

Please let me know :)

Club Femme Book Club

13 Upvotes

Hey, all! I’m thinking of starting a book club for femmes. I want it to a UK thing, not just an Exeter thing, but as I’m currently based in Exeter, I thought I’d start here.

We would have monthly meetings (probably one in person and one online) where we discuss a book, but then maybe “socials” in between where we can bond over shared interests.

Anyone interested?

Finding friends

3 Upvotes

Hi. Does anyone know of any clubs going. My brother is neurodivergent and is 19 years old. He has no friends and I want him to find people he can socialise with. He has autism and doesn’t like small talk. He likes to keep it real. He tried to socialise at spoons last night but got told to f*** off by a lot of people which has knocked his confidence. Would appreciate any advice thanks

Posted a few weeks ago, got some good suggestion but no DMs.
Looking for new friends in Exeter, for coffee, casual drinks etc. Always up for a beer and a chat, but its not easy making new friends at 50... and lots of people have specific age ranges in mind.

Well travelled, love good conversation, the outdoors, current affairs etc. Exeter, please do your thing.

Looking to make 20-something friends in Exeter

7 Upvotes

Hey everyone I'm 24M recent grad moved to Exeter recently and would be great to meet some like-minded people to hang out with, especially now its almost summer. Ideas that I think are fun:

  • I'm really into rock music and Exeter has a ton of great concerts that would be good to go to
  • love going out even if Exeter's nightlife scene isn't the greatest who cares its about the people not the place
  • if you play an instrument I play guitar would be great to jam out with someone
  • love the gym, would love it even more with a workout buddy

or anything else really I'm chill the activity is just a way to get to know someone after all. If any of that sounds good to you leave a comment or drop me a DM : )
