Established in 2005, Drinking Partners is one of the UK’s longest‑running platforms for meeting new people and building genuine friendships.
St Davids is small and distinctive — which can be brilliant for community, but it also means you may not be meeting many new people unless you actively look. If you’re newer to the area or your friends are spread out across Pembrokeshire, your circle can stay smaller than you’d like.
Drinking Partners helps you meet people nearby who want more local company. Chat first, then meet for a simple public plan and build friendship through repeat meet‑ups.
Making friends across St Davids often starts with simple coastal plans. A short catch‑up in the centre, a walk near the Cathedral, or a gentle stroll around nearby coastal paths keeps things comfortable. Keep the first meet public and brief, then suggest another easy plan if you click. In smaller communities, meeting again is what turns an introduction into a proper friendship.
Making friends as an adult can feel awkward — Drinking Partners makes it easier, more relaxed, and pressure-free, without meeting in large groups or organised events.
