Since June 2026, GLIU has been bringing together girls in their 20s and 30s for fun things to do around Leuven — from creative afternoons and comedy nights to brunches, walks and casual drinks.

With regular events throughout the month, you can keep showing up, meet familiar faces and let real friendships form naturally along the way.

“I created the social club that was needed.”

After moving to Leuven, I realised how hard it can be to build a new circle in your 20s and 30s.

I started GLIU to create the social club I wanted for myself: somewhere to meet other girls, try genuinely fun things and let new friendships happen naturally.

— Ariane, Founder of GLIU

Ready to find your people?

GLIU has the social calendar you’ll actually look forward to.

From brunches, sporty activities and creative workshops to comedy nights, social drinks, park picnics and karaoke, no two GLIU events look quite the same.

Come for whatever sounds fun, whether that’s trying something new or simply having somewhere good to be.

Most people arrive solo, and the rest tends to take care of itself!
