Dinner with Strangers: Manchester | The Weekenders

Hey, Manchester!

When was the last time you did something completely spontaneous? Our series groups together complete strangers for a fun night out. That's right, you sign up, and we book the restaurant. We know the work week can be a pain. Throw off your tie, grab a bite, and vent to new friends! Don't do city life alone and build your community with us. Our dream is to service 1,000 cities and anywhere we can combat loneliness while supporting locally owned businesses.
Brought to you by event series Ermantourage by Erman Baradi.

You can also take a look at our main event calendar via Posh for coffee meets, evening hangouts, and more!

How does it work?

1. Register once and you'll be added to our membership database through December 31st, 2025. We will connect with members continuously to organize dates and times to host our dinner meetups.

2. After you register, you'll be emailed an introduction message including a quick questionnaire regarding age, dietary restrictions, hobbies, and interests that we use to select restaurants and connect you for a one-on-one dinner meetup!

3. Since we're all strangers from the beginning, we'd like to get to know you first before you join us for outings. Let's schedule a quick Zoom chat to get acquainted!

*Your membership ticket does not include your individual food and drink purchases.

*The pin on the map is not the location for dinners, but simply a default placeholder Eventbrite gives us when we select your city as a location.

*These outings are intended to help people make friends. These are not singles gatherings.

Our vision is simple: we take the no gimmicks approach to networking. No need for yet another app to take up space on your phone - just four walls and a roof and good food for people to connect :) We coordinate with you directly, human-to-human.
