SYDNEY

the newest edition to the Social Society family, in our biggest backpacker city

We recently expanded our events to Sydney!

With Sydney being our newest group, we're still growing and setting up. Therefore we often have free meet up events to help spread the word about us whilst we finalise our official bar crawl routes. We are especially looking for Sydney bars to get involved

The thing we have started is our boat parties in Sydney! Our boats are always BYO drinks, with a bbq included on our day boats, music, games and lots of fun!

Hey guys! @everyone

Reminder that we have our first official event coming up on Australia Day (Mon 26th Jan) , it’s a public holiday so hopefully everyone is off work and able to come and join in :)

Tickets are a bit more expensive than most boat parties you will see to account for the fact that it’s BYO alcohol (which makes it basically free in girl math duh)

We also provide food for the BBQ, tunes and lots of mixer games on board the boat <3

I’m super excited for this one, and we are offering a 24 hour flash discount on tickets as we always do for our Perth groups where if you book with a friend, you can save up to 25$ each! But it’s gotta be before 5pm tomorrow

Okay guys...It’s officially here, our first ever official event!

I’ve booked out a huge boat for us for Australia Day! Perfect for swimming, dancing, BBQing and making lots and lots of new friends!! + it’s BYO drinks, which basically makes it free in girl math, duh...

Over in Perth, we’ve run this event soooo many times and it’s super popular, so I’m excited to bring it to Sydney!

There’s a significant cost associated with running a boat on Australia Day, which is why it may feel a bit steep, but think of allll the money you’ll save on a bar by being able to bring your own drinks 🥰 + a bbq lunch is included!!

We operate a tiered ticketing system, rewarding those who buy tickets early with great savings, so if you book today you can grab a ticket at early bird price <3

linktr.ee/socialsocieties < use our link tree to get booked on! :)

Hi guys, I know a lot of us are here solo, new to Sydney, wanting to meet more people, and don’t really have any Christmas Day plans!

For the first ever Social Society event in Sydney, we’ve organised a beach meetup. We are headed to Coogee beach for 3pm (although a few of us will likely be there earlier), we’ve opted for Coogee over Bronte due to the ongoing construction but this is subject to change so pleaseee get yourself in the group chat to keep an eye out for updates and the exact meet point on the day! <3

Exact locations and timing are still up in the air slightly, but the point is it’s happening. No one is going to be alone for Christmas if I have anything to do with it!

We are open to anyone aged 18-35 who wants to join, male or female, wherever you are from! @everyone

Hey guys, I am doing a 12 pubs of Christmas Eve-Eve TOMORROW with some of my friends in Newtown so thought I’d open it up to Social Society. There is a group chat you can join in our Whatsapp community, let us know there if you’re gonna join us!

If you aren’t familiar with a 12 pubs, it is basically a massive pub crawl with an individual rule in each pub!

It’s totally free to join and mixed sex, all I ask in exchange for joining us is that you give us a cheeky follow on instagram @sydneysocialsociety whilst we’re trying to grow :)

Definitely come solo if you want to make more friends, that is what it’s alll about!
