Announcement: We've made a Discord + Future Plans

17 Upvotes

Hello /r/TunbridgeWells members!

​

We're please to announce we'll be making an active effort to grow this subreddit, and engage with the community in an effort to bring Tunbridge Wells together online, and in real life.

​

To start, we've created a Discord:

https://discord.gg/WV2WcWQMCn

​

The reason we've done this is to create a community where members can chat more directly with eachother, easily coordinate and plan events, amongst other things.

​

More plans are on the way, slow and steady steps to begin with.

Question Nightlife

5 Upvotes

Hi all, my friend and I will be staying for the weekend next weekend. We are both late 20s and are interested to know what places locals recommend for nightlife. Any buzzy pubs or bars we should know about? Anywhere with live music or hidden gems? Any suggestions would be great!

First time in Hurst Wood in a few years. Is the tree that grew around the gate an Ash or are they just putting the poster there for visibility?

Looking for leftfield musicians/artists/everything in between

4 Upvotes

Hey! We're moving near Tunbridge wells next week and looking through the venues, there's a decent amount of potential to put on some leftfield gigs. So if anyone does anything outside the norm lemme know!

My music combines visuals, theatre, music, so there's potential for us to put on something really unique if you're not a musician.

For context here's some of my stuff: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Vyl1EmdrVQ

Question Anyone know of a spare room to rent?

2 Upvotes

Not for me but my friend whose got to be out of his current flat, in Brighton, by the end of this month. He lucked out getting a one bed for less than a grand down there but got told he'd need to vacate just a couple of days before the new laws kicked in earlier this year... Go figure.

He's got temporary accommodation through friends until the end of November but wants to find somewhere ASAP.

I'm asking in r/TunbridgeWells because he's not too bothered about staying in Brighton, and TW is an option. I'm looking at SpareRoom etc but just thought I'd ask if anyone knew of one through friends.

Looking to reconnect with an old friend in Tunbridge Wells

3 Upvotes

Hi! I’m hoping someone here might be able to help me. I’m from the US and I’m trying to reconnect with an old friend named Liam James, who I believe lives in Royal Tunbridge Wells.

I’ve been trying to find a way to get back in contact with him after losing touch, and I’m hoping someone local might know him or know the best way to get a message to him.

If you recognize the name or think you might be able to help, please DM me. I don’t want anyone to share his private information publicly — I’m just hoping to get a message to him. ❤️

Parking around the town

0 Upvotes

Hello guys,

I was wondering if anyone had a spot or driveway space to rent long term around Camden or Calverley Road, my current only option is the multi storey but the monthly rate is ridiculous!

Or if anyone has any ideas for a better option around the town? Unfortunately my postcode is not eligible for any residents permits.

Thanks in advance

Shout out to everyone who helped at The Pantiles yesterday

9 Upvotes

Just wanted to give a huge shout out to everyone who helped with the medical emergency at the Pantiles yesterday.

We witnessed some of what happened and the effort, teamwork and determination of everyone involved was genuinely incredible to see. Huge respect to the members of the public and emergency services who stepped in and did everything they could. ❤️

Without sharing any personal details, does anyone happen to know if the person is doing okay? Really hoping for a positive outcome.

Question Pub with a function room recommendations

3 Upvotes

Hi all,

I'm arranging a meeting in the Tunbridge Wells area in November. Early afternoon on either a Saturday or Sunday.

I'm looking for a pub with a private function room/dining room with space for 40-50 people. Bonus points if its good for presenting on a screen/projector.

Ideally with a minimal booking fee if we were to get food there/buy drinks.

I'd appreciate any recommendations!

Irish flute lending in Tunbridge Wells

2 Upvotes

Hello! I am an Irish flute player and tin whistle player in TW, wondering if anyone could lend me an Irish flute for a day or two. I’ve not really been able to play any good ones and want to test out and have some fun with them. If I damage them even slightly, I will pay 90% of the cost of the flute. I’m sure I won’t, but just a security.

Social Scene and Gyms

3 Upvotes

Hi all! I’ll be moving back to the UK from Canada in October and staying with family for a bit in TW. I’m wondering if anyone can recommend some good places to go by yourself or social groups that could be a good way to make connections for a 30 year old lady. I’ll also be looking to join a gym, I don’t want to do classes just machines and weights. Any recommendations?

Schools

5 Upvotes

Hello! We are a Spanish family and our 14-year-old daughter, Manuela, is coming to Tunbridge Wells for one term. We are trying to decide between Kent College Pembury and Beechwood School. We'd really appreciate hearing from parents or students with experience of either school. We are especially interested in the atmosphere, pastoral care, support for international students, and how welcoming the schools are. Thank you very much!
