Social & Friendship
Gravesend
A friendly, volunteer-run learning and social network for people who are retired or winding down from work, with more than 70 interest groups to dip into. A monthly speaker meeting brings everyone together, and the smaller groups cover everything from badminton to talks and outings.
This group is run independently by its organisers, not by InKent. Times, venues and prices can change, so get in touch with the group before your first visit. If the group involves children, ask the organiser about safeguarding.
Key details
Walking & Rambling
The local Ramblers group runs a busy programme of countryside walks across Kent, Surrey and Sussex, from leisurely strolls to longer hilly days. There is no booking; just turn up at the start point shortly before the walk sets off.
Photography
A sociable photography club for all abilities, with talks by visiting photographers, friendly competitions and member-led evenings. Any camera is welcome, phones included, and you can come to a few meetings before deciding whether to join.
Languages & Learning
A large, friendly learning community for people who are no longer in full-time work, with interest groups covering everything from painting and science to theatre trips and circle dancing. Monthly open meetings with guest speakers are a good way to make new friends.
