29M Moving to Bracknell & Hoping to Build a Social Life

Hey Bracknell community! 👋🏼

I’m making the move from London in just over a month, and I’m curious about the local scene for people in their late 20s.

I’m excited about enjoying the green spaces and mountain biking at Swinley, but I’m also eager to meet new people, make friends, and hopefully find a housemate along the way. 👀

Are there any fun clubs or activities around? I’m interested in sports groups, gyms with classes, board game meetups, lively bars, jazz clubs, and Dungeons & Dragons groups. If you have any recommendations for great spots or where to discover local clubs, I’d really appreciate it! 👌🏼
