British Community Association of Vienna
The British Community Association of Vienna (BCA) operates on a non-profit basis. We organise social and cultural events for British passport holders and their families living in Vienna. From 2023, membership is also open to persons entitled to a UK passport or who can demonstrate a sufficient link to the UK.
Whether you are a newcomer to Vienna or you have been here for some time, the BCA has something to offer. If you have recently arrived, we understand that it can be difficult to create a new social life, particularly if the language is new. We can help make that move a bit easier. We can introduce you to our own network of British friends already living here. If you are already established in Vienna, you will be able to expand your existing network of social contacts. Either way, you will be able to join in the events that we organise.
We have regular events and activities each month, which include pub evenings, a walking group, sailing, coffee mornings, darts nights, a ladies’ nights out, theatre & cinema visits, family days out and lots more.
Most of the activities happen in Vienna, but we also welcome members who live outside of Vienna. We already have a few members who live out in the “sticks” in Niederösterreich!
Simply contact us to find out when the next event is being held and pop along. You’ll receive a warm welcome from our members.

Events & Newsletter
Our members enjoy a lively and varied social life in and around our beautiful city.
Members are now notified of upcoming events by email. There used to be a monthly Association’s Newsletter (stopped in Jan 2024), but this will now only be sent periodically . No-one is obliged to attend events, but with such a diverse range on offer, there is bound to be something to tempt everyone.
Organising, and attending a BCA event can be a lot of fun. Some of our popular events are our “Pub Night”, “Darts Night”, “Coffee Morning”, “Restaurant Evening”, “Men’s Beisl Tour”, “Weekday Walks” (Monday and Wednesday) or our “Book Club”.
