Clubs & Groups
From Sunday bike rides and walking groups to choirs, book clubs and craft circles, Kent is full of friendly clubs that welcome new faces. Browse by activity or town, then get in touch with the group directly.
Social & Friendship
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.
Music & Choirs
A large, sociable choir that rehearses weekly and puts on concerts with professional soloists, organ or orchestra. The choir describes itself as open to all and runs offers for new joiners each term.
Walking & Rambling
A free, led health walk around the Historic Dockyard, run as part of Medway Council's walking programme. It is an easy way to get moving and chat with others, with a second weekly walk around St Mary's Island.
Arts & Crafts
A relaxed library session where you can bring your knitting or crochet and enjoy a chat over a cuppa. It is open to all ages and abilities, so beginners are very welcome.
Cycling
A weekly cycle-and-social group ride that heads out from Tunbridge Wells every Sunday morning. Route details are posted ahead of each ride, which makes it easy to see whether it suits you.

A busy run and triathlon club offering structured sessions through the week, from track nights to swim coaching and spin classes. Sessions cater for all abilities, and the club runs 0 to 5K courses for new runners.
Social & Friendship
A friendly u3a for people with time on their hands, offering monthly talks from interesting speakers plus theatre trips and social events. It is a good way to keep learning and make new friends locally.
