This is socialising, reimagined.

This isn't just another social club. From drag bingo nights, to low effort crafternoons, group dinners at the best hidden spots, themed nights out, hikes, pilates, craft & sip sessions, and one-off pop-up plans you'd love to do, but don't have the time, or gal pals, to organise all yourself.

Now opening in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch.

This isn't just another social club.

From drag bingo nights, to low effort crafternoons, group dinners at the best hidden spots, themed nights out, hikes, pilates, craft & sip sessions, and one-off pop-up plans you'd love to do, but don't have the time, or gal pals, to organise all yourself.

This is about breaking the mundane weekly routine, to actually get more out of your month.

Your vibe

Find gals who are actually your vibe.

Most events are open to everyone, but some are designed to make it easier to connect with women in a similar stage of life. Alongside plenty of all-ages events, Actually Social will have events for the gals in their 20s, some for those in their 30s, and some for women in their 40s.

It's not about limiting who you meet, but about making it easier to find people who feel like your people.

Not everyone wants the same kind of social life, and that's exactly how it should be. Some events are loud and high-energy. Others are relaxed and chat-led. Some plans fit perfectly into where you are right now, while others gently take you outside your usual routine.

Along the way, you'll naturally connect with women who match your energy and your season of life, while still meeting new faces and expanding your circle.

Come solo

Actually designed to come solo, that's kind of the point.

Arriving on your own is how we work, and it's part of what makes it so fun. Everyone does it, which keeps the energy open, welcoming and easy to settle into.

That little flutter of nerves when you walk in? Totally normal. We've all had it. Give it fifteen minutes and you'll be so glad you showed up.

Before every event, your host reaches out with all the details, sets the tone, and sends a photo so you know exactly who to look for. When you arrive, there's already a familiar face ready to welcome you and help the event feel relaxed from the start.

No awkward hovering. No second-guessing whether you belong.

We take that initial "should I be here?" moment and make it pass quickly, so you can settle in and enjoy being exactly where you're meant to be.

The calendar

A social calendar that actually adds more to your life, with everything planned for you from start to finish.

This is where you actually get more from your routine.

A long table dinner hosted by Actually Social

Some weeks it's a group dinner at a new spot everyone's been talking about, cocktails flowing, conversations rolling, and plans stretching later than expected. Other weeks it's a themed night out, drag bingo, trivia, live music or a chaotic karaoke bar.

Then there are the creative nights that feel social, not staged. Craft sessions which stretch from candle making to pottery and painting, that turn into drinks and chats rather than quiet circles. The kind of plans you save, screenshot, and swear you'll do one day, all made easy by Actually Social Gals, and finally happening.

There are active plans too. Pilates, rock climbing, long walks and movement-based sessions that feel more like a social outing than a workout.

You'll try new places, do new things, and say yes more often, especially mid-week, when life usually feels the most repetitive. All of them are hosted, curated, and easy to show up to.

It's an easier way to actually be social, try new things and get more out of your week, without having to organise it all yourself.
