Why we thought you might like this

You're free around the same time, up for something low-key, and interested in meeting people beyond your usual circle.

Interested?Not this time

Say yes and you'll get the details.

Illustrative example only. This is not a real scheduled plan.

Small groups

Real plans

In Oxford, around your interests

No swiping

You get considered suggestions

Romance off the table

This is about friendship

Small groups. Real plans.

Lavender plans are small by design, usually somewhere between two and six people, never a big crowd. Ordinary, low-pressure things, done together:

  • Coffee
  • Walk
  • Food
  • Culture or events
  • Something active
  • Games
  • Study or co-working

How it works

Step 1

Tell us what you're into

Pick the kinds of plans you'd actually enjoy: coffee, a walk, food, culture, something active, games, or study.

Step 2

Share your availability

A few windows that work for you. No back-and-forth scheduling.

Step 3

We propose a considered plan

A real plan, put together around people who are free at the same time and up for the same kind of thing. While we're getting started, each plan is hand-arranged.

Step 4

You decide

Interested or not this time, either is fine. No explanation needed.

Step 5

Get the details and meet up

Say yes and you'll get the meeting details. Then it's just turning up, in person, in Oxford.

What Lavender does differently

You tell us what fits your life

What you're up for, and when you're actually free. A short set of questions, once, not an ongoing profile to maintain.

We put something together

A considered plan, not a queue of options. You'll see what it is and why, with enough context to know if it sounds good.

Interested, or not this time

Say yes if it sounds good, or not this time if it doesn't. No explanation needed, and no catalogue to browse either way.

Less coordination, no messaging

No private messaging before you meet, and no back-and-forth scheduling. We handle the coordination.

Starting in Oxford

Lavender's public Oxford launch lands on 28 September 2026. One city, done properly, before anywhere else. Whether that's a coffee in Jericho or a wander down Cowley Road, if you live, study, or work in and around Oxford, you're exactly who we built this for. Join now to be ready.

Early plans are being kept small and hand-arranged while we get this right. Expect something more personal than a big app. The aim is to keep it that way, not bigger.

Built to feel safe, not just fun

  • Everyone confirms they're 18 or over before joining a plan.
  • Plans are small by design, with 2 to 6 people, and always meet in a public place.
  • You can report a concern at any time, and every report is reviewed.
  • We don't sell your data or use third-party ad trackers.

Oxford, we're ready when you are.
