Features
Built for real-life plans, not endless feeds
Everything you need to find something to do, and the people to do it with.
Map & list views
Every event pinned on a map, colour-coded by category. Flip back to the list whenever you like.
Nearest first
Sorted by real distance from you, with search and category filters to narrow things down.
Verified by NearBy
Our team reviews every event before it’s published, to keep out scams and fake listings.
Free & paid events
Every tile shows the price upfront — or a Free tag. Paid events go through a secure checkout, so there are no surprises.
Participant list for members
Once you’ve joined, you can see everyone else who’s going. People who haven’t joined just see how many spots are left.
Profiles with interests
A photo, a short bio and the things you’re into — so everyone knows who they’ll be meeting.

Questions, answered
Is NearBy free?
Creating an account and browsing events is free, and many events are free to join. Paid events show their price upfront on the event tile, and you pay at checkout when you join.
How do you make sure events are genuine?
Every event is reviewed by the NearBy team before it’s published. Events that look like scams or fake listings never go live.
Who can see who’s going?
Only people who have joined the event can see its participant list. Everyone else just sees how many spots are left.
Do I need to share my location?
Only if you want events sorted by distance. Your browser asks first, and you can still search and filter by area or city without it.
Can I host my own event — and charge for it?
Yes. Pick a category, set a time and meeting point, choose how many people can join, and make it free or set a ticket price. Once our team approves it, it goes live — and for paid events you receive the ticket money after a small NearBy service fee.
