More Than Men

Show up. Grab a brew.

Our Sessions

Every session is designed to feel relaxed, welcoming and real. No sign-up, no referral, no pressure to speak. Just turn up.

Below are our core sessions. Check the live calendar at the bottom of this page for exact dates, bank holiday changes and any extra events.

Weekly space

Brew & Banter

A laid-back evening session built around brews, biscuits and honest conversation. You can talk about what’s going on, have a laugh, or just sit in the room and listen.

No circles putting you on the spot, no pressure to share more than you want to.

Where: Whitecross Community & Recreation Centre, Lexden Street, WA5 1PT.
When: Weekly – see the calendar below for current day & time.

Turn up on your own or with a mate. Stay for the full session or just drop in.

Wellbeing Wednesdays

A calm, steady midweek space to look at stress, pressure, coping tools and day-to-day mental health – without judgement or jargon. Run by men with lived experience.

Share if you want to, or just sit and listen. It’s about making things feel a bit less heavy.

Where & When:
1st, 3rd (and 5th, where it applies) Wednesdays – Whitecross Community & Recreation Centre.
2nd & 4th Wednesdays – The Living Well Hub, Warrington.

Exact times and locations are always shown on the calendar below.

Pool & Snooker Social

Our Pool & Snooker Social offers another way to connect – shoulder to shoulder instead of face to face. It’s lighter, social, and still a meaningful space to be around good people.

Whether you’re decent with a cue or miss every other shot, you’re welcome. It’s about company, not competition.

When: 2nd Friday of every month, 12:30pm.
Where: 147 Snooker & Pool, Norman Street, WA2 7HW.

What it’s actually like

In The Room

Whichever session you come to, the feel is the same: calm, welcoming and real. Someone will say hello, offer you a brew and give you space to just be.

You never have to introduce yourself to a big group or share anything you’re not ready to. Showing up is enough.

  • Free to attend.
  • Run by men with lived experience.
  • Open to men aged 18+ from any background.
  • Come on your own or with a mate.
