- Singles Saturday Park Walk | Ages 30 to 45Boy and Frog Statue, Greater London
BOOK YOUR TICKET HERE.
Connecting with potential partners is a walk in the park when you’re doing something you love! If you’re active, enjoy a good social scene, and are into the outdoors, join us with 30 single guests for a 6.5 km walk around the Regents Park and Primrose Hill Circular. Switch scrolling for strolling during this wholesome morning, which includes a hosted walk, coffee (or tea), and a homemade chocolate brownie.
Meet James, your host, at the Boy and Frog Statue located in Regents Park, just a short walk from Baker Street Station. After a stroll around Queen Mary’s Garden, we will continue through Marylebone Green and the English Gardens of Regent’s Park. We’ll then head north, crossing Regents Canal via the Monkey Gate, and make our way up to the viewpoint at Primrose Hill. Here, we’ll stop for coffee and homemade brownies—a great opportunity to socialise more widely with the group and get to know as many people as possible. If the weather isn’t kind to us, we’ll take refuge in a nearby café around Primrose Hill.
After this short interlude, we will continue clockwise on the circuit, re-joining The Board Walk in Regents Park as we pass London Zoo, and then return to Marylebone Green, where we’ll conclude at the Japanese Garden.
This is a super-relaxed morning walk and a fantastic opportunity to meet a fun bunch of people while getting your steps in along the way. After the walk, the usual post-event matching and messaging will be available on your It’s a Date dashboard. Alternatively, there are plenty of nearby trails and cosy Marylebone pubs to extend your date with newfound connections.
If you have any questions about the event or how things will work, please get in touch with James at 07517 065492 or [email protected].
- Speed Dating in Soho | Ages 30 to 45craft beer co covent garden, WC1V 7AA
BOOK YOUR TICKET HERE.
In the heart of the theatre district, you’ll find 30 eligible Londoners and your It’s a Date host at The Craft Beer Co. Covent Garden—a super-friendly and informal bar with an awesome array of craft beers, independent spirits, and soft drinks. We’ll gather in a private space of the venue for introductions to a fun group of singles, all ready for a good time and eager to make new connections at this popular mid-week event.
Our host will be at the venue, ready to welcome you at 19:30. Please arrive on time for registration, to grab any drinks from the bar, and receive a quick summary of how the evening will unfold. You’ll be given an optional name sticker, a pen, and a note card to keep track of everyone you’ve met.
Ladies will be seated at tables that are nicely spaced, discreetly numbered, and arranged in a comfortable area of the venue. When speed dating kicks off, gents will join the ladies for 5-minute dates to get to know each other. Your host will let everyone know when it’s time to switch, signalling for gents to move to the next table in ascending numerical order.
During the table rotations, you’ll have a moment to jot down your thoughts about the previous date and your intention to reconnect, just for your reference.
Midway through the evening, your host will call for a 15-minute comfort break, giving you time to use the restroom, head to the bar, or socialise with new connections. Dating will then resume for the second half of the evening.
At the end of the speed dating, you can stick around for more socialising or head off to any of the countless options the bright lights of Soho have to offer with your newfound connections. You can then access the event listing in your dashboard to provide feedback on your dates and await your matches.
If you have any questions about the event or how it all works, please get in touch with James at 07517 065 492 or [email protected].
