A new quiet space is coming to Newquay...
We're working on bringing a new Quiet Meet Up to Newquay very soon!
Our groups are designed to help you make meaningful connections with likeminded people in a calm and gentle way that feels authentic to your true quiet self.
Whether you’re chatting and sharing stories with your fellow quieteers, enjoying a craft or wellbeing activity, or simply relaxing with a good book in the company of others, this is a safe space where your quiet voice matters - and where you can feel part of a community that truly gets you.
We can’t wait to welcome you.
Your Newquay Meet Up leaders
We're here to greet you, guide the event and lead the optional activities, as well as answer any questions or concerns that you might have.

What to Expect
-
A relaxed, welcoming environment
Our venues are calm and quiet spaces with plenty of room to spread out. We always keep our group small too, to help you feel welcomed.
-
It’s okay to talk and it’s okay to be quiet too
We understand that you may prefer to ease into conversation gradually, or that some days you might like to sit quietly with a good book whilst simply in the company of others. We welcome both quietude and chatter.
-
You can go at your own pace
Our intention is to help you connect with others, but there’s absolutely no pressure to participate or set any big goals. You’re invited to do what feels right for you.
-
Optional activities
Every week we bring along materials for casual, optional activities for you to participate in if you wish, from creative journaling to painting to crochet. You’re also welcome to bring your own creative project or a book to read.
-
Conversation starters on the tables
We know that getting to know new people can be challenging, so we’ve done the tricky part for you and provided some interesting, positive questions that you can ask your fellow quieteers.
-
Tea, coffee, hot chocolate and biscuits…
Because you can’t have a meeting without them, right?
What Quieteers are Saying
“I have always struggled with making friends, not feeling as worthy as others around me and overthinking situations that stopped me from trying. At times this made me feel lonely and stuck. After slow and determined steps to push my boundaries, I realised that there is nothing wrong with who I am. Being surrounded by fellow Quieteers has made me feel safe, heard, helped me open up and shift my focus from the fears to how I can be me and lift others at the same time. Quiet people are amazing and given safe spaces and the right circumstances, they have plenty to talk about.”
- Erzsebet, Cornwall
“I used to be very shy and not able to hold conversations, but I enjoy being with likeminded people at the Meet Ups. It’s a lovely group and I can relate to them so I feel more able to open up and join in with conversations. I’m comfortable being with other quieteers knowing they understand if I feel socially anxious. The best thing in every Meet Up is there’s no pressure to talk, you can chat when you feel comfortable. There are optional activities available for everyone to do at the Meet Up but there’s no pressure to join. I can just simply sit and watch others if I want to, though I love to use the colouring sheets or drawing paper while listening and chatting with others. After every session, I have a positive feeling that helps me feel more confident with making new connections inside and outside the Meet Ups.”
