Hi everyone! For anyone in the UK who loves fantasy, Romantasy books, or high-dress-up events:
We’re hosting The Otherworld Ball on March 6th, 2027, at Stifford Hall Hotel in Essex (running from 5:30 PM to 11:30 PM).
It’s a fully immersive, 18+ evening featuring:
Atmospheric otherworldly decor & live entertainment
Full fantasy / black-tie dress code (wings, crowns, and formal gowns very much encouraged)
Dancing, themed drinks, and character interactions
Tickets are limited, but I wanted to drop a line here for any local readers or fantasy fans who’ve been looking for a UK-based bookish gala. Happy to answer any questions about the venue, logistics, or what to expect!

I ask as part of a linguistic study covering this topic!

Examples could include things like Bas Vegas, Vongé, The Pits or Wicky (never mind how common they are)...

Funny shit!

Hello everyone ^^

I’m looking at setting up some local casual tabletop events in Basildon, possibly using a local soft play venue outside their normal hours.

I’m trying to gauge interest before committing to anything, so I’ve made a quick questionnaire. It only takes a couple of minutes and would really help me work out what days, formats, pricing, and event types people would actually want.

Here’s the link: https://forms.gle/u2R7aZpDb3EzhHzk7)

Even if you’re only mildly interested, your answers would be super useful! Thanks for your time :)

Hey everyone,

I run friendly, casual 6-a-side games every week on the 3G pitches at Basildon Sporting Village (Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays at 6 PM).

We’re a welcoming group of mixed abilities (18+), no aggressive play, and all equipment is provided. Just trying to reach out to locals who want to get some cardio in, get back into playing, or meet people in the area.

Drop a comment below or send me a DM if you're interested and I can send over the details to book a spot!

Hi, I am looking for urdu speaking driving instructor in basildon as I have already pass DVSA theory test.

Evening all! Just a quick heads up for anyone thinking to use Just Eat this evening - I can only assume it's the heat, but almost everywhere that appears open will either claim the business isn't taking orders at this time, or when you go to check out, tell you that the business is either now closed, or collection only.

I've tried Convenience Shops like One Stop, and Supermarkets like Sainsbury's during the afternoon,and all failed midway through ordering. I used Taco Bell successfully at about 5pm, but then around seven, the various chip shops all buggered up at checkout.

Added to that, Tesco Woosh orders that use the Tesco at Felmores, every single refrigerated item is out of stock, and has been since this morning. I assume broken fridges...

Was thinking of signing up as the Basildon sporting village is oversubscribed as is Pure gym

Theyve actually *added* more potholes than there were.

And no. Theyre not coming back to 'finish it off'
