About us
Canterbury Social Connections is a social group where you can meet new people, try new activities or get more people involved in the activities you enjoy.
The group is designed so that any member can 'host' an event, so there are always new types of events on the schedule. Its free to be a member, and to attend events, we just ask that active members make a donation to the running costs every 3 months.
Some members host regular events, including pub quizzes, walking, trail running, book club, meals out, badminton sessions, film club, drinks nights, music gigs, board game events and many more.
Whether you've just moved to the area, or have been here for a while and are looking to expand your social circle; come along to an event, meet some like-minded people and experience some adventures! New members are welcome at every event - we were all new once!
Once you've been to your first meetup with the group, if you want to host your own event, message one of the event organisers.

Book club: Prodigal Summer by Barbara Kingsolver (464 pages)
Hampton by Hilton Canterbury, CT1 2TP, canterbury, GB*Important: In the book club meetings, we can take attendees only (we cannot take the waiting list) and attendees that have read the book*
It is summer in the Appalachian mountains and love, desire and attraction are in the air.
Nature, too, it seems, is not immune.
From her outpost in an isolated mountain cabin, Deanna Wolfe, a reclusive wildlife biologist, watches a den of coyotes that have recently migrated into the region.
She is caught off guard by a young hunter who invades her most private spaces and interrupts her self-assured, solitary life. On a farm several miles down the mountain, Lusa Maluf Landowski, a bookish city girl turned farmer's wife, finds herself marooned in a strange place where she must declare or lose her attachment to the land that has become her own.And a few more miles down the road, a pair of elderly feuding neighbours tend their respective farms and wrangle about God, pesticides, and the possibilities of a future neither of them expected. Over the course of one humid summer, these characters find their connections of love to one another and to the surrounding nature with which they share a place. With its strong balance of narrative and drama, Prodigal Summer is stands alongside The Poisonwood Bible and The Lacuna as one of Barbara Kingsolver's finest works.
