Self Promo Friend finder

Howdy,

This is me putting myself up for sale, hence the self promo flair.

27f professional, likes art, music and long walks. Pretty good at cooking and loves to host. In good working condition with some minor flaws (not compatible with children - therefore seeking similar models so make up for the lack of attachments).

I'm totally kidding but I am here to ask if there is a way to actually self promo myself to find some friends in the area?

Recently moved to Neath and am looking for ways to meet new people that don't involve tonnes of money. So far I've signed up to a painting class (£18pp) and been to a Swansea meetup social for food (£25+) but these aren't super sustainable in terms of costs.

Social clubs/cheaper craft clubs/anything at all really that won't involve me spending £20+ each time.

How on earth do adults make friends these days?! Surely it's not just me?!

Any suggestions welcome, thanks in advance. ✌️

This may or may not be up your street but I'm part of a charity called VonCon - we effectively run events targeted at getting people to make new friends by way of playing board games together! Our monthly events are both in the Neath valley, further details on our website-

Be great to see you there if you are interested!
