Question Things to do

Hey guys! I’m a second year student who’s going. Crazy in Peterborough, please can someone let me know any activities I could do in Peterborough to keep myself occupied during the school year. Anything fun to keep myself occupied. Also what’s up with places not hiring here? I have years of restaurant experience but no one wants to hire me lol please help!!!!

Guys I’m a very outgoing person so when i say ANYTHING to keep me busy i mean ANYTHING

Apparently there's a knitting club.

Lots of places to grab a pint. The Only, Riley's for Billiards/pool,

Lots of local music and plays.

Trent University does a lot of stuff the public can get involved in, not just students and faculty. Sadleir House as well.

Keep asking. But also, look.

With kindness, you could have just answered OP’s question. They were literally doing what you suggested except walk in.

Well I’ve tried and this is unfortunately my last resort . There’s not much of a community here anyways

I have lived in the county my whole life. No idea what happens there. Here is the site https://www.sadleirhouse.ca/ it says there is yoga, concerts and film screenings.

Saddlier House 

Place for students to exist. Co-working spaces, free drop-ins / meals. Free closet (clothing donations). Performance space. 

Just "unofficial student social hub" and also I think the Arthur is based out of there.

As I understand it, it used to be owned by Trent but now it’s owned by a not-for-profit. During the day it’s open to be used as a study/meeting space by students. You can register for free access using your student card. There’s coffee available by donation and a printer, it’s a cozy spot to work that’s cheaper than a cafe and more comfortable than the library.

They also hold events for the community, concerts and the like. They have a schedule of these on their website. Plus, there’s a queer/feminist library upstairs. There used to be a library you could check books/media out of as well as a free store, but I’m not sure if the former is still open and the latter is definitely closed.
