Five-minute presentations, photos and videos allowed, and a lively night of laughter and connections.

Join us this August at the elegant University Arms Hotel for Pitch Your Mate, an evening where friendship, humour, and a touch of matchmaking take centre stage.

The concept is simple: if you believe your single friend is an absolute catch, this is your moment to prove it. Take the stage and deliver a five-minute pitch presenting your friend to the room. Share their best qualities, their most endearing quirks, and perhaps the occasional embarrassing story (all in good spirit, of course). Your goal? Convince the audience that your friend is someone they should absolutely meet.

Presentations can be as creative as you like. Bring photos, videos, slides, or any supporting “evidence” that helps demonstrate why your friend is the perfect prospect. Whether your approach is heartfelt, persuasive, or delightfully cheeky, the stage is yours.

Expect an evening filled with laughter, bold presentations, and plenty of personality as participants champion their friends in front of a lively crowd. Set within one of Cambridge’s most iconic venues, Pitch Your Mate promises a unique night out: equal parts entertaining and slightly mischievous.

Come to pitch, come to watch, or simply come for the spectacle. After all, behind every great single person is a friend who knows exactly why they’re a catch… and isn’t afraid to say it out loud.
