Feeling lonely or isolated. Fancy a chat? It’s Empty Chair evening at the Prince of Wales pub at 117 Ewell Road.

It’s an open table evening for anyone on their own, or anyone who simply fancies talking to someone new, and it’s staged on the third Tuesday of the month.

It’s a simple idea to counter loneliness and isolation; leave a few chairs free at a designated table, and join in the chat when you’ve bought a beer and sat down.

How do you know which table to sit at? Eric, the host of the evening, will be wearing an orange top. There’s no commitment, no fee, and you can stay as long as you like.
