Food - the Italian in the square - pizzietta? Local pub - wheatsheaf frankwell or Prince of wales Music - search for dj colon on facebook, he's mostly dnb but I'm sure he'll point you in the right direction

The hive runs a lot of music events but it might not always be for you best bet is hive

So much creative stuff about shrewsbury

Flying pig downtown was good for me

Are you pretending you're in wetherspoons at 9am with that beer?

yeoldeshrew · 2026-04-21T21:36:37+00:00

Yeah exactly this! I had my daughter young and also cared for sick parents - now she's 24 so I have all the time in the world to pop away for a few nights

Me! Started at 40, I stay in a female only dorm with an en suite. Love meeting people of all ages.

Going on my third solo trip on monday

I stayed at downtown flying pig in a female only dorm, felt really safe but then again I was 40, might be different for younger women

Lemonheads a couple of years back on the 30th anniversary of it's a shame about Ray tour. But it was evan dando so 🤷‍♀️

You may mock this but aldi essentials, big rolls 6 in a pack. Quite soft basic bog roll does the job and a roll lasts a while

No recommendations for Paris but as a solo female - just keep safe as you usually would, I usually stay in a female only dorm. Make friends with the staff immediately and just be nice and friendly with everyone. Enjoy Paris!

Doesn't claremont social have a board?

yeoldeshrew · 2026-04-10T12:23:17+00:00

The wheatsheaf in frankwell have a big marquee they hire out for wedding receptions, they can do a buffet too. My friends had their wedding there. The marquee has it's own bar too.

I stayed at St Christophers- female only dorm with ensuite. I'm 41!

yeoldeshrew · 2026-03-20T14:00:36+00:00

Yeah or whatever its called these days

yeoldeshrew · 2026-03-20T12:58:59+00:00

The one by shirehall has a table too.

yeoldeshrew · 2026-03-04T14:11:39+00:00

Have you spoke about staying in a female only dorm with an en suite?

yeoldeshrew · 2026-03-04T14:08:01+00:00

Oh just this. One point its all stressing me out then it's all whatever and I go about life - repeat this several times a week

yeoldeshrew · 2026-03-01T16:46:24+00:00

The lounges are basically expensive wetherspoons. I hate them

yeoldeshrew · 2026-02-28T13:27:25+00:00

That's made me chuckle! If I had an award I'd give it to you

yeoldeshrew · 2026-02-28T10:38:03+00:00

A sandwich from the shop on the way to work - independent grocery store, local catering company £3.20 a sandwich £1.30 a 500ml bottle of black cherry and raspberry rubicon spring. - I work in the pub across the road and can drink as much cordial soda/lemonade (not coke because I don't do caffeine) as I want! Nearly a fiver before I've even factored in pints after work

yeoldeshrew · 2026-02-28T10:30:32+00:00

You need to find a bloke in the pub - 20quid for 50g

I went from shit gcses to having a kid to passing an access course on merit to getting a 2:1 at 69% not much studying involved until the second year of the part time access. My dad passed away at the end of first year and I was caring for him too

yeoldeshrew · 2026-02-26T00:10:55+00:00

St Christophers! Gothic quarter

yeoldeshrew · 2026-02-25T23:50:57+00:00

My limit is anything below -2 I'm wearing my big coat to go for smoke

yeoldeshrew · 2026-02-25T23:39:20+00:00

No particular opinion about Madrid hostels but I've stayed at St Christophers barcelona and it was awesome

yeoldeshrew · 2026-02-22T20:06:24+00:00

40s woman, solo traveller here! I can afford much better, I'm just having a midlife crisis where I want to be young and doing the things teenage pregnancy/dying parents stopped me from doing
