Barcelona’s international community is gearing up for a lively evening as the Barcelona English Speakers group hosts its September meet-up this Friday, 26 September, at D9 Aribau. For more information about the event and to register your (free) place, you need to head over to the Meetup event and RSVP.
The group, which has grown to more than 2,000 members, is known for its relaxed monthly gatherings that provide newcomers and long-term residents alike with the chance to meet, chat, and connect through a shared language. This month’s event marks the first large get-together following the summer break, promising a full house of fresh introductions and friendly reunions.
Running from 8pm until late, the event offers an added incentive: guests who arrive before 8:30pm will receive a free drink, whether that be a beer or a soft drink. The venue, D9 Aribau on Carrer d’Aribau, provides the backdrop for what has become a staple of Barcelona’s social calendar for English speakers.
Beyond the monthly meet-ups, the group keeps members engaged with dedicated sub-groups focused on sports, tech, music and more, ensuring there’s a space for every interest. The Barcelona English Speakers WhatsApp community, founded in 2020 was designed to help people with the challenges of settling into a new city, and has gone from strength to strength since its inception.
With Barcelona continuing to attract a diverse international crowd, events like these offer more than just a night out, they provide a vital community hub in a city where finding a sense of belonging can take time. Whether attendees are new arrivals or familiar faces, Friday’s gathering promises to deliver the mix of warmth and connection the group has become known for.
