We are a discovery application. We help our users' structure and make their social life more meaningful. We offer a personalised service to our users by presenting them with a list of existing events and happenings that match their interests, created by other users or by businesses. After we successfully manage to find the right activity for our user, we match them with up to 5 people to enjoy the experience with. No fun things to do around? No problem. Our users can create their own event, a spontaneous one, or one for later and find like-minded people to join them. We aim at combating loneliness, overstimulation and failed connectivity. We are here for you whoever you are, whatever your interests are, any time, any where. Pyxida is your social navigator. Your personal compass. Your tool to help you always be connected to the right ones (places and people).

We're the Circle of 20s & 30s who choose belonging over attending, friendships over faces, and doing cool things over the same-old. We don't wait for plans, we create them. We refuse to be the disconnected generation. We're a circle, not strangers. A lifestyle, not one-off events. A movement, not an app. If you're craving more connection, you belong here. WHAT YOU'LL FIND INSIDE Real plans, every week. Walks, dinners, run clubs, football, pub quizzes, gallery trips, brunches and big socials, all happening in your city, with people who live near you. One tap to join. See who's going before you commit, RSVP in seconds, and get everything you need on the day: where to meet, what time, and who's hosting. Your circles. Plans come with a group chat, so you're never walking into a room of strangers. Say hello beforehand, share photos afterwards, and keep the conversation going in between. Faces you'll see again. This isn't a feed of one-off events. The same people turn up week after week, which is how acquaintances quietly turn into friends. Hosted by members. Our plans are created by people in your city who wanted something to exist, so they made it happen. You can host too. WHERE WE ARE Now live in Bath, Bristol, Cardiff, Oxford, Manchester, Cambridge, Liverpool, Leeds, Newcastle and Nottingham, with more cities on the way. MEMBERSHIP CircleUp is a membership community. Your membership covers entry to members' plans across your city, and some ticketed plans are priced separately to cover the venue or the activity itself. Everything you pay for happens in person, in the real world. A GOOD PLACE TO BE THE NEW ONE Every member is a real member of a local community, so nobody here is anonymous. You can report or block anyone from their profile, and we act on reports within 24 hours. Our community guidelines are built into the app. Don't just attend. Belong.
