THINGS TO DO IN GALWAY
Galway Meetups is a smorgasbord of social groups and gatherings in Galway. Activities include stitching, surfing, yoga, singing, reiki, movie nights, soccer, rollerskating, language circles, coding and more including simple plain get-togethers. There's also opportunities to create your own meet up group for free :-)
Recently, a lot of folks reached out to us about volunteering opportunities and engaging in the community. There are groups such as Volunteer Galway and Conservation Volunteers Galway that are always looking for extra hands. Some interesting ones include Festival Volunteer at Galway International Arts Festival or at Seafest and Park Warden.
We have weekly meetings in the Galway Traveller Movement Office every Tuesday at 7pm for those interested in racial equality and social justice.
We also try to keep our calendar full of accessible events which can be viewed below.
