Do It With Strangers is an innovative social initiative designed to bring Strangers together through unique and engaging events. Our mission is to foster meaningful connections and create memorable experiences by encouraging people to step out of their comfort zones and interact with new individuals. From picnics and tapas to hiking and painting, our diverse range of events ensures there’s something always for everyone.
Young professionals, wishing to expand their social circles; expats and new residents, seeking to integrate into a new community; social enthusiasts, interested in trying new activities; solo adventurers, open to new experiences. This is where the cool people hang out.
Picnic with Strangers is a unique social event where participants meet new people, share stories, and enjoy a delightful picnic in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Drinks and snacks are included.
You can sign up through our website by registering your profile filling out the necessary information and then completing it by purchasing your ticket. You can choose from Woman Ticket and Man Ticket because our events have 24 spots available for each gender.
No, late arrivals will not be accommodated. Please arrive between 15:00 and 15:10. Important pointers at the initial briefing will be given to all Strangers at 15:15, so that the event can start promptly at 15:30.
The ticket price includes a selection of tasty snacks – savoury, sweet and healthy options – along with a variety of drinks such as wine, beer, sodas, juices, and water. Additionally, it covers music, a table assignment card, and some fun icebreaker questions to help setting the mood. All of this is provided to ensure you fully enjoy the 4-hour Picnic with Strangers in a beautiful park in Lisbon.
Bring a positive attitude, comfortable clothing suitable for outdoor seating, and any personal items you may need.
The exact location will be disclosed via email and our community platform closer to the event date.
The event lasts for 4 hours, from 15:30 to 19:30. But it is required from you to be present 15 to 30 min earlier to attend to the initial briefing. Please reserve this time and kindly stay until the end of the event. Please, also do not arrive before 15:00 to allow for event setup. Thank you.
You will be seated at tables with 5 other Strangers. Every hour, there will be a sound signalling a rotation to the next table, allowing you to meet a new and fun group of people. You will find your table path in a card the organisers will be giving you at the initial briefing and you will only need to follow the numbers every rotation time. There will be 3 rotations.
The event is designed for individuals to meet new people, so we believe each participant should register separately. This ensures everyone gets the full experience of meeting new strangers. But, if participating together with your friend sitting side by side is very important for you, we will take that information into consideration when designing the table paths for every stranger. Just be sure to let us know.
Ah, the dreaded last-minute change of plans! Unfortunately, refund requests made less than 72 hours before the event are a no-no. Think of it as our way of ensuring everything is perfectly set for your amazing experience. Plus, we’ve already started packing those delicious snacks just for you! If you ask for a refund
You can reach out to us through the contact form on our website or email us directly at info@doitwithstrangers.com and we’ll get back to you faster than you can say “stranger danger”.
We encourage everyone to stay for the full duration to get the most out of the experience and not to damage the logistics of the event itself.
Yes, we will have a variety of snacks to accommodate different dietary preferences, including vegetarian and vegan options. Nevertheless, please inform an organiser prior to the event.
Parking availability will be detailed in our communication with the exact event location. You will also be informed about public transportation’s options.
All food and drinks are provided, so there’s no need to bring your own. Just bring your appetite for meeting new people and your enthusiasm!
As much as we’d love to meet your furry friend, we kindly ask you to leave llamas, unicorns, and other sweet pets at home.
Consider it an unplanned adventure! But since you realised you are one too many, just consult your table path card again and check the number of the table you should be sitting at, and kindly go back on track.
In case of bad weather, we will notify all Strangers of any changes or rescheduling via email. But in our events, the sun always shines. Literally and metaphorically speaking.
No worries! We will have icebreaker games to help everyone get comfortable. Plus, you can always talk about the weather, your favorite movie, or how you used to wet the bed when you were a child.
Well, that’s a bonus! Just make sure to get their contact info before the next table rotation!
We don’t believe that’s possible because all our tables are carefully curated to spark connections. But if it happens, no problem! Just smile, be polite, and remember there’s a table rotation every hour. Your new favorite person might be at the next table!
There is no strict dress code, but we recommend wearing comfortable clothing suitable for outdoor seating. Just please do not come in your birthday suit.
Oops! Don’t worry, your secret is safe with us. Just make sure you don’t fly away mid-picnic.
There’s no such thing as too much enthusiasm at our picnic! Spread those positive vibes all around.
