Forget the pub and the man up bullsh*t.

This is not networking; it’s not group therapy. There's no space for awkward small talk, and there are no drinking games.

Instead, this is a night out with fellas who get it, featuring guest speakers, live music, board games, decent tunes, VR headsets, and conversations that matter.

Be warned -tickets are extremely limited.

It’s the Dad La Soul Sessions. We’ve been running this across Sussex for eight years.

Over 12,000 people have come through our doors.

We’ve been featured on Radio 1, Radio 4, TED, The Guardian, and The Sunday Times.

They all can’t be wrong, can they?

• It isn’t networking
• It isn’t group therapy
• It isn’t lukewarm coffee in a dusty church hall
• It isn’t awkward small talk or cheesy games
• It isn’t about pretending everything is fine.

Think about it, wouldn’t it be nice to have three hours of:

• Decent chat, and cracking tunes.
• Inspiring talks and Q&As with special guests and stand-up comedians/live music PA's.
• Time to hang out with old and new mates
• Play VR and board games
• Space to get sh*t off your chest
• No awkward small talk, as you have the freedom to move around multiple breakout spaces as you like.
• Delicious grub and drinks included.

And a crew of exceptionally handsome, witty and charming pals to hang out with(OK, that last bit might be a stretch tbh)..

It’s £7 for three hours, all in. You can’t get a round of drinks for that.

And if you can't afford that, dont sweat it, we will sort you out a free one. No stress, no stigma.

• You are fed up with not being able to or not being able to afford to socialise
• You miss catching up with the boys (or maybe you don’t really like most of your mates)
• You can’t remember the last time you met new friends
• You miss stand-up gigs, live music or just a proper night out
• You want to open up about how bloody hard life is, but never get the chance.

Fed up with not really having a social life or mates to talk to properly? You are not alone.

The older you get, the smaller your social circle becomes.

Babysitters cost a fortune. Hangovers hit harder. Old mates fade to Facebook likes. Too often, your social life ends up dictated by whoever your partner meets on the school run.

Fatherhood can be both brutal and brilliant. And when dads ask for help, they often get brushed off or told to “suck it up.”

That is why Dad La Soul exists.

We reimagine men’s mental health with a Trojan Horse approach.

On the surface, it looks like a kick-ass social night.

Inside, it is a ready-made network of peers and experts where men can talk about the stuff they usually ignore.

Generally, on a lads’ night, you talk nonsense and pretend everything is fine.

With us, you laugh and then speak honestly about life, fatherhood and mental health.

We listen without prejudice; that, my friends, is something quite special.

Dads and male-identifying carers, 16+, from all backgrounds and situations.

It doesn’t matter what your postcode is, your marital status, or the size of your bank balance.

Whether you’re married, single, co-parenting, or still figuring it out, you are welcome.

• 1 in 3 dads feel lonely most of the time
• 1 in 5 UK men have no close friends
• Suicide is still the #1 killer of men under 50

Dad La Soul exists to change that.

“If someone’s going to Dad La Soul, it’s really, really unlikely I know the evidence is with me on this one – that there will be some sister or mother setting up yet another charity because their son or their brother has taken his life.”

— Noel McDermott, Psychotherapist
