Here’s this weekend’s roundup of solo-friendly events: some to connect, some to escape, and some to give back.
From fundraisers and film nights to creative workshops and cardboard yacht races (we really liked this one).
Finding joy, connection, or calm for a few hours doesn’t mean you’re not paying attention, it means you’re human (plus you’re supporting local creators and businesses, they need some love too).
