How do I meet people in York?

When we asked people living in York about club and activities where newcomers can meet others, they responded:

"Expats in York, often join various clubs and activities to meet new people and immerse themselves in the local culture. They may join sports clubs such as football, rugby, or cricket, or participate in fitness classes at local gyms. For those interested in arts and culture, there are numerous theatre groups, art classes, and music societies to join. Book clubs are also popular among expats, as are language exchange groups where they can practice their English skills. There are also several international societies and clubs that cater specifically to expats, such as the York International Society, which organizes social events and trips around the UK. In addition to joining clubs and activities, expats often meet people through their work or studies. Networking events and professional associations can be a great way to meet like-minded individuals. Volunteering is another excellent way to meet people and give back to the community, with opportunities ranging from helping out at local charities to participating in environmental conservation projects. Social media and online platforms also play a significant role in helping expats connect with others. Websites like Meetup or Internations offer a platform for expats to join or create groups based on shared interests, and these often lead to real-life meetups and friendships. Lastly, simply exploring the city and its many pubs, cafes, and markets can lead to chance encounters and new friendships. York is a friendly and welcoming city with a rich history and vibrant cultural scene, offering plenty of opportunities for expats to meet people and feel at home," remarked one member in York.
