Your first DATE event: what to expect

Coming alone for the first time? Here's exactly how it goes, from booking to the drink after.

Friends laughing around a table of food and drinks on a boat deck.

Walking into a room where you don’t know anyone can feel like a lot. We get it. That’s why every DATE event is built for people who come solo.

Before

Pick an event, book your spot and you’ll get the details by email. If you tick “joining solo”, we’ll keep an eye out for you.

When you arrive

Someone from the team says hi and introduces you to a few people straight away. No awkward corner, promise.

During

The activity does the heavy lifting. It’s much easier to chat over a tennis rally or a lump of clay than over a cold “so what do you do?”.

After

There’s always a drink or a bite after. That’s where the numbers get swapped and the next plans get made.

See you there. 🌴
