A verified phone and a real photo — the same as joining.
Create an event
Plan the kind of gathering you wish existed.
You set the plan, the time, and the place. Up to five people join — and you are one of them only if you join too. A walk, a table, a board game, a market trip.
What you decide
The plan and the hour
The neighborhood and the place
The tone — quiet, chatty, walking, seated
Group size, up to five people
Whether you go yourself
Four steps from idea to Saturday.
Post the plan
Time, neighborhood, group size, and one honest line about what it is for. Every new event is screened before it goes live.
Join if you're going
Creating an event doesn't add you to it. Join it like anyone else, and leave the same way if your plans change.
Keep it accurate
Until it starts you can change any detail, open or close spots, remove someone or cancel it, and everyone who joined hears about each change to the details.
Standards
What we ask of everyone who creates an event.
A plan on Valentree is a small promise to strangers, taken seriously.
Post plans you would want to join yourself
Public places for first gatherings
Describe the plan honestly — the exact address goes only to people who join
No selling, recruiting, or pitching
Keep the details accurate while you can still change them
Plans that work
The best first plans are cheap, short, and specific.
Ninety minutes, somewhere public, nothing that needs booking. If it works, create it again next month — regulars are how a small table becomes a small circle.
Coffee walk
Board-game table
Farmers market trip
Gallery afternoon
Picnic in the park
Bakery breakfast
