Meet people in Manchester
Small plans with ID-verified people near you, across Greater Manchester: a walk, a table, a pitch, a quiz team.
What you could do this week
Every plan on Good Company is posted by a member, so what’s on depends on who’s nearby. These are the kinds of plans that suit Manchester:
- Hike: A Saturday train to Edale for Kinder Scout, back in time for tea
- Dinner: A long table in the Northern Quarter, everyone paying their own way
- Sport: Five-a-side on a Sunday morning in Chorlton, all levels
- Coffee: A slow coffee and a walk along the Quays
- Other: A quiz team of strangers at a pub in Didsbury
- Club: A running club that meets every Thursday after work
Don’t see your thing? Post it, and verified people nearby who fit the plan are told. Or say what you’d go to (“bouldering, weekend mornings”): when three people nearby want the same thing, you’re all told so one of you can post it.
Where it works
Good Company works across the city centre, the Northern Quarter and Ancoats, Salford Quays, Chorlton, Didsbury, Levenshulme, Stockport and beyond. You choose how far you’ll travel, and plans show the general area until you’re in; the exact meeting spot is shared with the people going.
Who you’ll meet
Every member has passed a government ID check and a live selfie before they can join a plan, see who’s going or chat. Groups are small, usually four to eight, and hosts can set an age range. There are also plans for students, plans for over-50s, women-only and men-only plans, and clubs that keep meeting.
Getting there and back
The day before, everyone confirms they’re still coming, so you know who to look for. You can start a safety check-in and share your live location with up to three trusted contacts until you’re home.
Is it free?
Yes. Joining and posting plans, the group chat and every safety feature are free. If a plan has a cost, like entry to a class, it says so and you pay the venue yourself.
