Hey!, I’ve recently moved to Peterborough after finishing uni in the midlands :) and been struggling to make friends, as my current job doesn’t really have anyone my age, so been kinda feeling a bit lonely and looking for advice/ or to make friends on here.

I’m 23 M, studied computer science and I’m interested in anime, games, gym, football and reading. I’d appreciate any help even if it’s some advice on places/groups to meet people !

Hello!

Do we have a business network / community in Peterborough for small businesses (product or service businesses) that are rooted in social or community impact (not non profits).

Thanks!

Hi all. I live in Peterborough and I've spent the last few months building a side project. I'm posting it here first because you're the people who'll actually use it.

Since this year, UK petrol stations have had to report their prices to a government scheme (Fuel Finder) within 30 minutes of a change. The data is public, but it isn't easy to look at. So I built a site around it:

https://fuel-alert.co.uk

What it does:

- Type any postcode and see every station nearby on a map, cheapest first, for petrol, diesel, super unleaded or premium diesel

- Shows whether prices around you are heading up or down

- Save your usual place and get an email on Sundays with the cheapest stations near it

That part is free and stays free. You don't need an account to search.

There's also a paid plan (£1.49/month, first 30 days free, no card needed to start). It tells you whether to fill up now or wait, and shows how often it's been right. It also emails you when a station near you hits your target price or cuts 2p or more, and you can message LOW on WhatsApp to get the cheapest stations near you. One fill-up at 3p a litre cheaper covers the month. You can ignore all of that and just use the free search.

You can also try the WhatsApp part without signing up. Find "@ukfuelalert" on WhatsApp, or message 07460 698108, and send LOW. It'll ask petrol or diesel, then where you are, and reply with the cheapest stations nearby. You get two free tries.

It's just me, no company behind it. I'd really like to hear what's broken, what's confusing, and what you'd want it to do. Email me at hello@fuel-alert.co.uk. I read and answer everything. Happy to answer questions in the comments too.

Hi. I'm spending the weekend in Peterborough in a few weeks, and would like to know where the best places are to go for a few drinks.

For context; there's a group of us going of varying ages, and we're not particularly picky about pubs. But places with karaoke, live music or a pub quiz would be a bonus

I am new to Peterborough and UK, moved here from abroad for job in Peterborough City hospital currently living in the hospital accomodation temporarily. I want to look for a 2 bed room apartment or residence to rent because my family will be shifting here in a few months.

Any suggestions where to look and how

And what to look for when searching

Any help will be appreciated.

I am totally new here.

Thank you

Yummy

We out here

Hi, am 35F just moved to Peterborough and looking to make new friends or any recommendations for fun activities.

Hopefully this is the right place to post this!

Me and my partner have gotten a bit stir-crazy not doing anything creative and want to pursue a goal we've had for a while of creating a small hoodie business in the local area with some bespoke designs and stuff. No AI, using good durable materials, all that good stuff.

We're new-ish to the area, and this is something we're very new at, but it's something we really want to pursue and wanted to see if anyone had any advice/would think it's something they might be interested in seeing?

We're aware of the local markets that run from time to time, for example, but wouldn't have a clue how to even approach something like that. Bit down the line regardless, think we'd start super small scale but is this something that exists in the local community already that we're just not aware of or something?

Does anyone have any suggestions/advice for us beyond "you'll have to work hard" which we're aware of, of course haha :)

Hi everyone,

If anyone has any experience with Fletton Quays, especially knowing it after the regeneration, I would really appreciate if you could fill out this form. It is for my Geography A-Level coursework.
It could be any sort of interaction e.g. live there, work there, walk through it.

Any help is greatly appreciated, all responses are anonymous and it will only take a couple of minutes 😄 💯

Hi could anyone suggest other things to do in Peterborough apart from bowling, walking im ferry meadows, glogolf and mini golf, pub and eating out. Thank you

Hello everyone
I have a site induction regarding job starting on Monday in Wisbech.I’m not sure how many days it gonna be
May be 1-2 weeks.
I’m looking for accommodation in Wisbech I have checked hotels but they’re too expensive I spent all my savings on driving lessons.
Budget is tight but I’m happy to pay.
Please let me know if anyone have leads.
Thank you.

Hi! I just moved from Vancouver about a month ago, I don't have a family here and I live alone. I'm hoping to make new friends here! I am a female and work from home on weekdays but basically free after 5pm and on weekends! :) I'd love to meet new people, especially girlies who are in a similar situation. Feel free to comment or leave a message.

Thank you so much <3

Please can anyone recommend a French school for adults in Peterborough? Thank you!

Hi everyone!
I’m 24F and will be moving from Derby to Peterborough this November.
I’ve been living in the UK for almost two years now, but unfortunately haven’t managed to make any close friends yet. Since I’ll have some free time after moving, I thought this might be a good opportunity to get out, meet new people and hopefully make some friends!
If anyone is in a similar situation or just fancies making a new friend, feel free to drop me a message! Would love to meet people around my age, grab a coffee, explore the city or just hang out.
Also, I’d really appreciate some advice about Fletton Quay. Is it a nice and safe area to live in? And does £900 pcm for a one bedroom flat sound reasonable, or is that a bit on the expensive side for Peterborough?
Any advice or recommendations would be really appreciated!
Thanks in advance! 😊

Hi!

This is more of an interest gathering post, but I was wondering if anyone would like to participate in a local PWHL fantasy league group?

(For those who don't know PWHL is the North American Professional Women’s Ice Hockey League).

The new season starts in December so there's time to decide if so.

(Or to start getting into the franchise for the first time, as there is now 4 new teams that have been established for this up and coming season too).

I would likely run it Snake Draft with FCFS Free Agents, but depending on the type / amount of people who want to join I am unsure if I should run it daily line-up or weekly line-up however I am up for discussion on the style if anyone has suggestions! :]

The free annual Peterborough STEM Festival takes place on Saturday October 17th from 11am-4pm at ARU Peterborough, to inspire children and teenagers aged 5-18 with interactive talks, exhibits, demonstrations and more covering all areas of Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (there's a quiet time for SEND children from 9.30am until 11am which requires a pre-booked ticket).

We've got robotics, computer coding, science experiments, engineering, virtual reality, artificial intelligence, physics, biology, chemistry, sim racing and more. It's all organised and run by volunteers and the non-profit local Digital People in Peterborough CIC, which also hosts monthly meetups for over 18s working in tech (next event is November 5th at GPUTC)

For further details and tickets: https://www.peterboroughstemfestival.co.uk/

Would anyone like a free ticket to Hadestown live at the Showcase de Lux for the 7pm showing tonight? I can’t make it, and I’d prefer someone use it at least.
