There are a variety of local bi meets across the country. They are mostly either held in community centres or in public spaces like pubs and cafes. Some are more focused on social support, others on socialising. Please note the local groups, events, websites and email lists linked to here are not run by BCN magazine. We advertise them in good faith but you may want to check that meets are still happening on a given date if you will be travelling a distance to get there. Our “diary box” in the side column on each page of the website covers the advertised dates of upcoming bi meetings, and the weekly Bisexual Agenda stories round up what’s on including any one-off events we pick up on. Know of a bi meet we’re missing? Drop us a line!
