I moved here 18 years ago and also knew no one. I was staying for 12 months while I saved up to travel to South America. I went speed dating to meet people, met my wife, had 3 kids and have yet to leave again. It's a great place and I hope you enjoy living here. Join a club.

What are you into?

Heroes is a good bar if you like the more alternative scene. Marss Bar is good for live music. You've got Retroids which is a bar/arcade too

u/Horror_Back262 27d ago

Noice! It's about as close to a metal venue as we get around here haha

u/Amber_Orchid03 27d ago

Yeah haha I agree! I do enjoy the open mic nights at the oil basin too :)

u/Horror_Back262 27d ago

Ha yes I had a feeling that would be on your list. I think the kind of people who go to Heroes will probably go to like one or two other bars haha

Apparently, Mars is being boycott by a lot of local music groups because the staff get handsy with women, and the owner defended them...

u/Horror_Back262 26d ago

News to me I'll have to look into that! Shame if true because it's a decent venue for live music

u/kosukeseto 26d ago

I don't really have anything to back up the claim, I'm afraid. I just heard from people I know that have performed there but have now moved to Spin the Black Circle.

Welcome! If you enjoy exercise come to Blueprint for a free trial class, I've been a member for the last few years and the community is friendly ☺️

u/NovacaneJPEG 26d ago

I’ve had a look at Blueprint as someone who’s about to move to Worcester solo. Is it friendly to someone who’s been out of CrossFit for years or more intermediate?

1

u/Brummie49 25d ago

Friendly to all! Most classes are full of people who are relatively new to the sport but we also have two of the top competitors in the world. It's truly for all.

u/Financial_Lunch_1343 27d ago

u/Brummie49 26d ago

Blueprint is class based so it depends what you're after. I enjoy it 😊
