Time to get experience some of the best bars on a ‘mystery’ bar/pub crawl
We’re putting something a little different in the diary for the August Bank Holiday Saturday: a fun, sociable bar/pub trail taking place in Cookham.
As Date in the Diary has grown, a traditional pub crawl with one large group simply won’t work. It can be difficult to get into venues, tricky to order at the bar and almost impossible to speak to anyone beyond the people standing beside you! So instead, we’re planning a more sociable version designed to get everyone mixing.
Depending on numbers, we will either operate as one group or you’ll be divided into smaller teams and given a paper-based trail to guide you between a selection of bars and pubs. If we go with smaller teams, at different points along the route, we’ll mix up the teams so that you spend time with different people. This should keep the groups small enough to find space in each venue, and, most importantly, give everyone a proper chance to chat and get to know one another.
Expect a relaxed late afternoon flowing into the evening of drinks, of course, good conversation and a little Bank Holiday adventure. There is definitely live music going on so the final destination will involve that.
There’s no pressure to drink alcohol — you’re very welcome to follow the trail and enjoy whatever takes your fancy at each stop. We’ll start early, at 5pm, but come along and join us whenever – no pressure! Full details will be confirmed on the WhatsApp group we will set up with everyone who books to join us.
