founders

We’re Henry and Lauren Beercock and we are Alcohull Free.

Who are we?

We are a Hull couple with a combined three years of sobriety and counting, who have completely turned our lives around, inside and out. 

Why did we start AlcoHull Free?

We started AlcoHull Free because, honestly, there wasn’t anything like it in Hull; a city we’re proud to call home. Sobriety can feel isolating and too many people end up staying in because they don’t know where they’ll feel welcome. We wanted to change that.

Our goal?

To build an alcohol-free community anchored in friendship, rooted in connection and united through belonging. We focus on local independent venues, helping them thrive while showing there’s a real and growing demand for alcohol free options.

What began as a simple idea has grown into a movement; people from all walks of life coming together to quiz, walk, eat, dance and share experiences. Whether it’s a daytime meet-up or a night out, our events prove that connection, laughter and good vibes don’t need alcohol.

AlcoHull Free is about community on tap — always flowing, always welcoming, always fun.

If you’re sober, sober-curious, or just want to spend time with good people doing life differently… come join us. We’ve saved you a seat.

Our community

  • “I’ve been to most events since joining, from quizzes to walks and meals, and along the way I’ve met some amazing people. On my very first event I met Jess, and seven months later we’re best friends and going on holiday together.”

    Sallie

  • “After five years alcohol free, I found my social life had declined, but AlcoHull Free turned that around. There’s banter, support, and a genuine sense of community with walking groups, running groups, and even a book club. If giving up booze was the best thing I’ve done, joining AlcoHull Free is the second.”

    Derek

  • “My biggest fear when I stopped drinking was missing out on connection, but from the moment I joined AlcoHull Free that fear started to dissolve. Now I go to every event and never feel alone. This community has kept me grounded and moving forward.”

    Freddie

  • “My experience of AlcoHull Free so far has been of a welcoming, warm bunch of people who want to have fun without any baggage. Sharing and caring is there if you want it, but the biggest part is simply the fun.”

    Marcus

  • “AlcoHull Free has given me a positive, non-judgemental space where making new friends feels natural. Some nights it’s deep chats, other times it’s laughter, but every time it feels like being with mates.”

    Rachel

  • "THE FOUNDER HAS CREATED A WONDERFUL COMMUNITY WITH LIKE MINDED PEOPLE WITH SIMILAR OR SAME GOALS. I FIND THE GROUP REALLY SUPPORTIVE AND IT'S JUST WHAT I NEED ON MY SOBRIETY JOURNEY."

    Sally

  • “THIS IS THE EXACT GROUP I WOULD HAVE LOVED WHEN I STOPPED DRINKING. FRIENDLY, INCLUSIVE OF ALL AGES AND FULL OF ENGAGING ACTIVITIES AND ALWAYS SOMEONE AVAILABLE TO CHAT TO. SUCH A POSITIVE SPACE.”

    Katy

  • "GREAT EVENTS AND LOTS OF LOVELY PEOPLE. JUST LIKE MINDED PEOPLE WITH NO JUDGEMENT, HAVING A GOOD TIME WITHOUT THE NEED FOR ALCOHOL."
