How PLY works, our mission & locations
People Like You is your social life assistant.
It's for the friendships you are building and the ones already there.
From our Dinner Club and Film Club to Drinks socials, Bowling nights and Games evenings, every experience is intentionally designed to spark genuine friendship.
Meet someone you click with? Invite them to your next experience. Want to introduce existing friends to new people? Bring them along too. PLY makes it easy to grow your social circle naturally - we handle everything from venue selection and personality matching to group dynamics and on-the-ground-support.

There are two ways to book:
- Single Experience: £9.99 PLY fee, plus any activity cost
- PLY Membership: £19.99 a month, including your first activity ticket and unlimited PLY experiences
The PLY fee covers your personality-based matching, small-group curation and the organisation of the experience.
The activity cost is the cost of the activity itself, for example, a cinema ticket or cookery class.
With membership, we cover the activity ticket for your first experience. After that, you pay the activity cost where one applies, at the discounted member rate.
For Dinner and Brunch, there is no activity ticket. You pay for your own food and drink at the venue.
The £9.99 covers the PLY side of one experience:
- Personality-based matching
- A place in a carefully curated small group
- Venue and experience arrangements
- Updates and support before you attend
It does not include the cost of the activity itself, such as a cinema ticket.
For Dinner and Brunch, there is no activity cost to pay upfront. You simply pay for your own food and drink at the venue.

Simple. Subscribe to PLY, attend three experiences within your first 30 days, and if you don't feel PLY is right for you, we'll refund your subscription in full. We want you to find your people, and if that's not happening, we'd rather you leave happy.

We understand that plans can change. You can reschedule your booking up to 24 hours before the experience. After that, the booking will be forfeited.
You're also free to cancel at any time, but please note that cancellations are non-refundable and cannot be transferred to a future experience.
