MixingOut is all about socialising; it is all about meeting new, interesting, different characters in order to enhance your social life. MixingOut provides a great platform for you to get in touch with people in your area, your potential best friends could be hiding around the corner (not literally hiding, that would be weird). Our platform provides a simple, yet outstandingly efficient way for you to hang out with new people and we are working incredibly hard so that you can have access to new friends in the quickest and the best way possible.

MixingOut is very personal, as well as of course being very sociable. Through clever techniques, we are able to bring you a platform which does all the picking and choosing and then delivers you the best results of people and events which means that you can start hanging out with people in your area. The platform has a very strict policy on scams and shady accounts, without compromising all the fun the website intends for you to be having. Therefore there is no need to be worries about sleazy spams and peculiar messages.

The idea behind the platform is predominantly to increase your social circle and build a bond of strong friendships in your community, and it seems to be working. Some may be sceptical or afraid to host events due to fear of no one showing up – DON’T BE. People are much more friendly than they might seem at first glance, the platform has already had success with many, many occasions where the little gatherings have turned out to be a huge triumph. The event turnout percentage is above 80% which is significantly higher, it is actually double, of what we predicted when we started out. Thus, this means people are getting more confident, which will lead to more adventurous and quirky events taking place.

So keep up the good work, we are working hard behind the scenes to maximise your experience and deliver the best we can do, so you can meet some incredible people out there.

If you are living in Nottingham, then with spring approaching, there is an excellent new way to meet loads of exciting people and enjoy a lively, fun-packed social scene. MixingOut is like nothing you will have ever experienced before, and it’s a terrific way to get out and about and do some really cool stuff.

Nottingham joins in the fun

That’s right, Nottingham joins the MixingOut fun as of 2015. We’ve already taken a good look around the city and visited some of the friendliest bars, clubs and venues we think would make excellent places for groups to meet up and hang out (more about those venues coming soon on our website).

MixingOut has seen massive success in Derby since we launched there earlier this year, with over a thousand members using our social network, and now we’re very excited to be taking the party to Nottingham. We’ll be rolling out events at the start of the new year, beginning with our ever-popular ‘Ladies That Lunch’ sometime in the near future – so keep an eye out for that, ladies of Nottingham!

So, if you’re new to Nottingham and looking to meet new friends, or if you already live in the city and feel like trying something different, meeting up with lots of new people who just want to have a good time, then sign-up to MixingOut and get a heads-up on the latest goings on near you.

Curry Night in Leeds

First up we were out in Leeds for an epic night of drinking and some delicious food. Everybody loves a curry, and our MixingOut members are no exception. The guys met up at Akbar’s, a fantastic little curry house in Leeds Eastgate.

As you’d expect, everybody had a great time. Sure, you can order a takeaway at home and sit in front of the television but nothing accompanies a hot curry better than a group of friendly people. The atmosphere was relaxed, cosy and welcoming – which made it so much easier for our newbies to settle in and get involved.

Salsa Session in Leeds

This time in Leeds dancing was on the agenda. Not the strobe-lit, house-pumping acid kind. No, we’re talking about salsa dancing. Or rather, salsa lessons; none us were what you call “experts”. But everybody had so much fun that another outing is definitely on the cards.

And in the end, isn’t that the whole point of joining MixingOut? We want our members to get out and meet new people, try lots of new and exciting experiences and enjoy themselves as they go. Salsa dancing is certainly something nobody had done before, but it proved to a huge success and lots of fun.

EVENT ALERT: Mid-Week Thai

Fancy trying a bit of Thai? On Thursday 16th October one of our MixingOut members will be organising a get together at the Chaopraya restaurant in Leeds for some delicious food and friendly banter. Book on here.

With the success of the recent Made in Leeds festival, and the masses of positive feedback we received from our MixingOut members, we’ve thought long and hard about the types of big events everybody would like to see more of in the future – whilst retaining that friendly element of meeting new people and having lots of fun.

The idea with MixingOut, since the very beginning, has always been to deliver something big and exciting. And now that we’ve got over a thousand members across Leeds, Derby and Wakefield – a great mix of friendly girls and guys who really know how to enjoy themselves – it looks as though that time is now.

We’ve got some great ‘activity-based’ events lined up, including many popular requests such as paint balling, go-karting, archery and even hand gliding! In the mean time, we’ll still be running the usual get-togethers and big nights out. So it’ll be a great opportunity to meet up and get to know each other before attending some of our bigger events.

We know how much fun our bigger events can be, so we want as many people as possible to get involved and really enjoy themselves. And getting to know exactly who you’ll be staring down the barrel of a paintball gun beforehand is a major part of that!

If you’ve always wanted to try something a little different, then come along to one of our regular events posted on our events board for a taste of things to come. Alternatively, if you fancy trying something different but feel a little nervous about not knowing what to expect, then come along and get to know everybody. All our members and event organisers are friendly, welcoming people who just want to have fun – just like you!

Al fresco 

With summer just around the corner, you won’t always feel like sitting inside a steamy cafe and bustling restaurant. Gather yourselves outdoors and meet up for something a little cooler and more refreshing.

There’s always plenty of vendors serving lots of different kinds of foods on the go at this time of year. So why not break the monotony of a busy day at work with some outdoor lunch fun!

Take a look around

A feast for the eyes is still a feast, and for those of you who like a discussion during your lunchtime, you’ll have plenty to talk about with all the interesting works on show.

Museums in busy town centres are often surrounded with quaint little cafes, pubs, and eateries – so there’s always a place to sit down afterwards and grab a bite to eat. It’s the perfect way to fill a lazy afternoon when you feel like trying something different but not too vigorous.

Don’t fancy a museum? Not a problem, just substitute it for something that all of you are interested in – a look around the city and your favourite shop maybe. Just be sure to find time to sit down and enjoy yourselves.

Try something new

Don’t like sushi? How would you know unless you’ve already tried it? Japanese? Mexican? Tapas? Busy shopping centres and food courts are nowadays packed with all sorts of interesting places to sit in and try something new.

And it’s not just the kinds of foreign foods you’re already familiar with from your Friday night takeaways, there’s lots of lunchtime menu variety on offer. So why not take a break from the sarnies and jacket potatoes and try something different.

EVENT ALERT: Ladies That Like to Lunch

On Saturday 10th May MixingOut organiser Andie will be hosting a get together at All Bar One in Leeds, for light lunch, girl talk and cocktails. So if you fancy popping along, sign up here.

Then why not let MixingOut know all about it!

Sometimes all it takes is the right setting for an event to go off with a bang, and that’s precisely what we’re looking for at MixingOut. So if you have a venue that would make the perfect place for our members to meet up, then why not create a quick profile and let us know all about it!

We have thousands of members across Derby, Leeds and Wakefield, all looking to get together and go out in their local area. From quiet little cafes to pubs, clubs, and exhilarating activities such as Go Karting, paint-balling and plenty more, our members have many different ideas of fun, but share one thing in common – they’re all searching for a place to go.

How it works

All you need to do is create a venue profile on our site. From here, you’ll be able to let our thousands of members know all about your venue, as well as any deals or promotions you have on offer that you think people may enjoy. It’s a great way of inviting large groups of people and new customers to your business, perhaps at off-peak times when things are usually a bit quieter. Just make them an offer they can’t refuse!

Our members can then choose to take advantage of this by voting to create an event at your place of business, based around the time and date of the promotion you have specified. And if enough of them agree to attend, then they’ll show up ready to enjoy themselves. It’s as simple as that!
