Local Events

As part of our New Members Social, and with the selection process for our next parliamentary candidate in Hampstead & Highgate well underway, we’ll be joined by speakers to discuss what makes a good candidate.

Some of the prospective candidates are also likely to be in attendance — a great chance to get to know them ahead of the selection!

Above all, it’s a relaxed and welcoming opportunity for new and long-standing members to meet, connect, and get involved.

And it's FREE event for new members!

Join us at 1 Salisbury Road on Thursday 24th April for a Quiz Night! For £15 per person (payable either in advance or on the night), we will also be getting fish and chips (menu to follow) from a local chip shop for people to have alongside other Lib Dems.

Join us for a dinner celebrating Denis Loretto's many contributions to liberalism before his move out of Southwark to Dorking in May. From being a founding member of the Alliance Party in Northern Ireland to his tireless campaigning in Southwark and the Mole Valley, Denis has given so much in his 89 years. Please join us (and notable guests!) to mark this occasion. 

Where: Brown's Brasserie Butlers Wharf

When: 7.00pm on Thursday, 24 April 2025

Dress code: Smart 

Please note that the venue is fully accessible.

The ticket price includes a three-course dinner and a welcome drink.

If you are not able to attend, but would still like to make a donation to support the event, this would be very much appreciated.

An online briefing session for any member or registered supporter in Greenwich Borough who may be interested in standing in next May’s council elections or just has questions about what being a candidate involves.

The link to join will be sent to those registered to attend in advance.

Pauline, Deborah, Christine and Wendy would like to invite you to join us for lunch at 12.30 on Friday 25th April at The Deer in the Dene.

It's a chance for women members of Newcastle Liberal Democrats to meet some of your local Councillors and hear about the work we do. We don't meet up socially as often as we should and it would be great to meet you and enjoy some time together. The only cost will be the meal and we will circulate the menu in advance, so you can pre-order. 

We need to let the restaurant know in advance the number of people attending, so could you let us know if you can attend by by Friday 21 April.

Park on Swiss avenue

Bromley don't have elections this year but our neighbours in Sevenoaks do - they're hoping for some spectacular results this year but need our help. Easy to get to - only half an hour from Bromley, 15 minutes from Orpington!

A group of Bromley members are going to help on Saturday 26th April from 10:00 - meeting point to be discussed. We'll stay for about 3 hours, then probably enjoy some lunch at a local pub. We can arrange car sharing if you're interested, or travel by train to Sevenoaks station where a local volunteer will collect you.

Our action day tour takes us next to Norbury & Woodsmoor ward which we share with our neighbours in Hazel Grove!

In previous elections before and after the boundary changes this has been an incredibly marginal ward and faced intense campaigns from both the Conservatives and Labour. In 2023, the Conservatives were just 86 votes away from electing a councillor in the ward.

Join us anytime between 10am and 4pm. Even if you can only spare an hour or take a bundle to deliver later, every bit of help counts.

Lunch will once again be provided for all volunteers, so come along, help us fight the Conservatives, and enjoy a bite to eat with fellow campaigners!

Join us as we take our resident survey to Alexandra Park ward to find out people's views and what matters most to them.

The

event is for everyone, so if you have never joined us or volunteered

with us before this is for you. All first timers will be paired up with

an experienced member of the team who will provide training on what to

do, what to say, and why this matters!

We will be meeting from 10.30am at Rosetta Cafe, 264 Muswell Hill Broadway, Muswell Hill, London N10 3SH (near the Mossy Well off Muswell Hill roundabout).

You are invited to a coffee morning for tea, coffee, cakes and conversations.

Please come and bring a friend!

Join us in Brislington West for the final weekend of action before polling day!

We're heading into the final stretch of the campaign to elect Oli Henman as West of England Mayor, and this canvassing session in Brislington West is a vital part of the push to get our message out in the south of the city.

 Saturday 26th April
 Starting from 10:30 AM
 Meeting Point: The Lodekka, Brislington, BS4 3DS

We'll be out talking to residents on the doorstep about why Oli is the fresh, community-driven voice the West of England needs—and why a strong Lib Dem turnout in Brislington is key to winning this election.

Whether you're a seasoned canvasser or trying it for the first time, you’ll be supported every step of the way. Bring your enthusiasm—we’ll bring the clipboards and the plan!

 RSVP and join us for this final push—let’s get Oli over the line! 

Come and meet your local

councillors. 

We are here to help you with any issues that you might be having. We

will do our best to be of assistance where we can, or at least help point you

in the right direction.
