Love going to the theatre but no one to go with? Adam Green set up West End Outings to make the joy of live performance more accessible for all
West End Outings is all about making new friends. In 2019 Woking based Adam Green started a small Facebook group for a group of friends who wanted to go to the theatre without going alone.
Given the early success and friends bringing friends, West End Outings was created in March 2022 and since then has gone on to be the UK’s largest LGBTQ Theatre Events group as well as other divisions including West End Outings All Together, Women, Over 50’s and Getaway trips helping people access theatre and events, saving money and giving people a platform to make friends in a safe social setting from across the country.
With over 135 events under his belt in the first three years, Adam wants to share the opportunity for more local people to join him at their events and keep building the ever-growing community. Some of you may even remember him as the resident pianist at Woking New Victoria Theatre for many years entertaining people prior to seeing shows. Adam had previously spent 10 years working in the West End and theatre industry as an actor in his 20s.
Since the pandemic a lot of people have become less connected with office hours changing and many local social groups disappearing all together. Adam says: “I want to make sure you are welcomed with open arms and a big smile at the theatre (even if a piece is serious and challenging in themes or fun and uplifting), it should be an exciting thing to look forward to. We have single people, couples, small groups of friends and even families that use the service and a large number have made friends locally just by coming to events. You never know who will be there.
“We started our life on Facebook but have grown across Instagram, our website and even our app. A simple cheap yearly membership gets you started and then you can book as many events as you want by being on our mailing list. We have even taken over three theatres privately in London in the last year alone which is a fabulous experience knowing that every single person in the room is a West End Outings member.”
