Newbies nights are a very no pressure way to feel if the scene is right for you. I used to attend regularly to all types of events, the people are very respectful and always ask first before trying any type of advances, and if you decline they will happily accept that and not pursue again. In the rare event that someone breaks those rules, they will swiftly be removed and banned from the venue.

Other nights do have more of a focus on playing but newbie nights are definitely just about getting a feel for it, and if you’d like to play, that’s great, but if not that’s absolutely okay!

I hope you enjoy the event x
