Join The Offline Club at the cosy Square Club by locking your phone away and enjoying relaxed time free of digital distractions, surrounded by like-minded people.
This event ensures you have blocked off, screen-free time in your agenda. It allows you to unwind, meet others, and catch up on hobbies you never have the time for.
It’s a little escape into a different world where time slows down, people are open to connect, and you can truly focus on yourself.
What to Expect
Peaceful (me-)time – to enjoy your favourite offline hobby.
Games – a mix of easy, pick-up-and-play games.
Creative spaces – relax with some mindful colouring or challenge yourself with speed drawing portraits!
Intimate and cosy – limited to 35 spots.
Community vibes – calming background music and a welcoming atmosphere.
The Square Club is kindly hosting us to support our mission, so let’s return the love – please leave your own drinks and snacks at home. Tea, coffee and a variety of drinks will be available at the bar.
The Program
19:00 – 19:15 | Arrive & get cosy
19:15 – 20:00 | Connect with yourself
20:00 – 21:00 | Connect with others
21:00 – 21:15 | Round-up and goodbye
Connect with yourself…
Sit back and recharge by reading a book, drawing, journaling, or engaging in any solo activity you like. You can do your own thing without being disturbed while enjoying relaxing music in the background. Please bring your own books or creative supplies to keep yourself busy. Need a little inspiration? We’ve got you covered with our creative supplies.
Connect with others…
Socialise with friends or strangers, but only if you feel like it. This is the time to meet others, have conversations, discuss books, share ideas, or play games. We create laid-back spaces where talking to strangers is the norm and connection is made easy. Feel free to come solo, or with friends.
We can’t wait to swap screen time for real time with you.
Love, Ben & George

About your phone: Your phone will rest in our phone hotel, and we’ll be its body guards. But just so you know, if it magically disappears, learns to fly, or mysteriously breaks, The Offline Club can’t be held responsible. In case you’re not quite ready to let it go, no worries – just turn it off and keep it tucked away, out of sight!
Refunds? Sorry, no take-backs. But if you cancel at least 48 hours before the event you can request a voucher for the price of the ticket.
