About

Holidays, Adventures and Events for Active, Social, People.  A great way to meet new people and join organised events.

What is Hooley Time?

We’ve now been running the club for 3 years now, initially emerging via extended friends networks and steadily growing into a more formalised Club attracting down to earth, outgoing and active people who want to meet new people and join organised events and holidays!

The Atmosphere

It is very much a ‘house party’ style environment where everyone mucks in. The large majority of members and guests are professionals with similar ‘Go-Getting and Down-to-Earth’ attitudes to life – making the most of our spare time and not taking life too seriously!

Locations

Holidays and Weekends away are both UK based and abroad, with members attending from all parts of the UK. Because the Club started 3 years ago by a group of Londoners and Midlanders – there is a fair following from these regions! We do run regular evening events in London and Bristol and we’re looking for people keen to get involved with hosting regular gatherings in other areas. For example, a couple of members are kicking off regular drinks in Geneva in January!

Do remember to join the mailing list for your area, so that you’re kept in touch with holidays and events on the left hand navigation page of the website.

If you’d like to get involved in hosting an event in your area, please go to the ‘contact’ page and submit an e mail letting us know which area you are interested in – you just need to be sociable and outgoing and happy to talk to anyone!

What sort of people join?

Majority of members are professionals, coming from completely mixed industries – from the City, Charity and Social Media Sectors, to Artists, Doctors and Vets and we have lots of members who run their own businesses. We are down to earth and each event is a mix of new and existing members – new faces are always welcomed.

The member network has grown as an extended group of sociable friends and we plan to continue to grow like this and keep the same energized and positive atmosphere.

Membership / Do I have to be a member to attend an event?

You’re welcome to come to events & holidays whether you’re a member or not, although the majority of people who attend Hooley Time events on a regular basis become members because it makes sense financially! If you think that you’re likely to come to more than 3 London events in a year, or a holiday, then you’ll save money by becoming a member.

The Website

There are lots of networking sites out there – however the purpose of this website is simply to provide a quick and straightforward vehicle for you to register, find out what’s going on and book events. Our view is that your spare time is precious and therefore you should spend as little time as possible staring at a screen and instead meet people the traditional way!
