FLARE* - No Bullsh*t, Just Real Connections 🤝
The world’s a wild place, and let’s be real: going alcohol-free or stepping into a wellness journey can feel like standing on the edge of the unknown. But guess what?👂 You don’t have to do it alone. FLARE* is a badass community in Edinburgh and beyond, ready to tear down the limits, ditch the late nights, and connect with people who actually get it.
And no, you don't have to be completely sober to join in on our fun, we're completely open to those who still enjoy a drink - this is a judgement free zone! But just be mindful, that all our events, meet-ups, get togethers and everything else in between, are alcohol-free.
Currently, our main space is on WhatsApp—where people just like YOU swap stories, hit up events, and build something f*cking real. This isn’t about perfection or some ‘clean living’ checklist📝
It’s about showing up exactly as you are, building real connections, and lighting the path together. Our Whatsapp community is for women-only because this space is sacred, and we make sure you can be yourself, no apologies.
Our events; Festivals, Markets, Alcohol-Free pop-up bars, Networking events etc, are for all genders.

The Firestarter Behind FLARE*
Your friendly neighbourhood retired party gal.
I don’t do things by halves. I’m all in – music blaring, fireworks blasting, ripping the packaging off with my teeth, enjoying the sweet sweet taste of uncertainty mixed with excitement💥
But look, I didn’t create FLARE* to preach or coach you to death. This isn’t some ‘life transformation’ cult (yet, anyway😉)—it’s a community. A place where we organise kick-ass events, show up with you, and together, we keep it real. No one’s here to hold your hand through a 12-step wellness plan. Instead, FLARE* is your tribe, your safe space to let loose, laugh, cry, and find real f*cking connection.
Ready to join? The tribe’s here, waiting for you.
