Lots on in Bristol this August, but it’s the monthly call for our session this week in Hotwells, 5th August @ 7pm. Come down for a chat for our open session, sit & chat about the chaos that summer brings. Trust us you’re not alone with the feeling this summer it can all catch up with you.

We’ve got you. Our door is open the first Wednesday of every month.

Remember that nothing goes Beyond the Chair. 🪑

⚽ Football & Conversation – Everyone’s Welcome

This Wednesday, why not join us a little earlier?

We’ll be showing the England vs DR Congo World Cup match from 5:00pm at Minimal Barbers, Hotwells, Bristol. Whether you’re a football fan or just fancy some company, come along, grab a seat and enjoy the game with us.

Then, at 7:30pm, we’ll move into our Beyond the Chair Open Session.

There’ll be no guest speaker this week—just a relaxed, welcoming space where everyone has the opportunity to talk, listen, and support one another.

No pressure. No judgement. Just real conversations.

This Wednesday at Beyond the Chair, we’re doing things a little differently.

There’ll be no guest speaker this week.

Instead, we’re opening the floor for honest conversation. Whether you’ve got something on your mind, want to share your experiences, ask for advice, or simply listen, this session is for you.

Sometimes the most powerful conversations happen when we give each other the space to speak.

No pressure. No judgement. Just real men having real conversations.

We’d love to see you there.

Wow. Last night at Beyond the Chair, we had the absolute pleasure of welcoming .joeslife down from as our monthly guest speaker for June. His honest, warm and insightful talk resonated deeply with so many of the lads in the room, leaving us all feeling heard, understood, and truly inspired.

We can’t thank him enough for sharing his wisdom and thoughts. Everyone at Beyond the chair is incredibly proud of Joe and his journey. He is a genuine and incredibly kind bloke.

And for those who missed it, we’d love to see you at our next session which is happening on the first Wednesday of every month, with the next one coming up on July 1st.

Come join us for another evening of support and conversation!

Last night was so special for the lads at Beyond the Chair Bristol💙

After taking time to reset, we came back together for our first session and what a powerful session it was. The energy in the room reminded us of exactly why this space matters.

We had an incredible guest speaker, Chris who delivered a truly impactful session, opening the door for honesty, vulnerability and connection. We’re incredibly grateful for the passion and openness he brought into the room, so from all of us at beyond the chair, thank you Chris.

And to everyone who attended, thank you. Thank you for showing up, for trusting the space, and for speaking with honesty. The conversations were meaningful, brave, and deeply needed. We created a safe environment where real feelings could be shared without judgement and that is something special.

The lads are only just getting start for 2026 and there’s plenty more to come. If you, or anyone you know would be interested in being one of our monthly guest speakers then please reach out.

Our next session is 3rd June - watch this space!

We’re back everyone & with a new guest speaker 👋🏼

Meet Chris, a passionate mental health advocate who is running at least 5km every day throughout 2026 to raise awareness of how just 30 minutes of daily movement can improve both physical and mental wellbeing. This is all part of his movement GY30 Give Yourself 30.

Chris’s journey is personal. Growing up he faced challenges with mental health, including bullying, becoming a young parent, and feeling the pressure to step up as the man of the house. These experiences shaped his resilience and his purpose.

Over the past 6 to 7 years, Chris has seen firsthand how physical exercise can transform mindset, improve mood, and encourage healthier lifestyle choices that support mental health.

He is Beyond the Chair’s next guest speaker on 6th May at 7pm. You are not going to want to miss this.

Today marks 1 year of Beyond the Chair🎉👏

So here’s a little message from George and Rhys to thank you all and provide an update on what the future holds 💙

08/03/2026

🎉 One Year of Beyond The Chair 🎉

What a year it’s been. From day one, this community has shown up with honesty, courage, and heart. To everyone who has supported, liked, shared, and most importantly attended our sessions, thank you. You’re the reason this space exists, and you’re the reason it keeps going.

Next Wednesday we’ll be celebrating our first anniversary with a special chat from our founders, George and Rhys, as they reflect on the journey so far and everything we’ve built together.

This will also be our last session for the next month as we take some time to regroup, recharge, and level up the future. The boys are coming back with something bigger and better.

Stay tuned. Stay connected. And as always — keep talking, keep showing up, and keep looking out for each-other.

The boys at beyond the chair have a question for you. If you’ve been thinking about coming down but haven’t yet, what’s stopping you?
This is your sign. No pressure. No judgement. Just a relaxed space to have meaningful conversations and not feel judged.

The boys go again tomorrow at 7.30pm.

24/02/2026

Happy Tuesday lads!

We start to welcome the lighter days ahead. 🌟 Just a quick check-in: How’s the year shaping up so far for you?

Remember, Beyond the Chair is back tomorrow at 7.30pm.

We can’t wait to see you and keep that positive momentum rolling! 🚀
