🏛️ A Hosted Social Experience at the British Museum

Looking for a more meaningful way to meet other singles?

Join us for a unique social experience where history, culture and curiosity create the perfect setting for genuine conversations and new connections.

Rather than sitting across from the same person, you'll explore one of the world's greatest museums together through fun, interactive challenges designed to spark natural conversations.

We'll begin outside the British Museum with a warm welcome and introductions before dividing everyone into small groups of 5–6 people . Throughout the experience, we'll rotate groups, giving everyone the opportunity to meet a variety of people in a relaxed, pressure-free environment.

🏺 Challenge 1: The Object That Speaks to You

Each group will explore one of the museum's galleries and choose an object that fascinates them, represents their personality, reminds them of a memory, or simply sparks their curiosity.

Everyone will share why they chose it, creating meaningful conversations and helping you discover more about each other's personalities.

🔎 Challenge 2: Museum Treasure Hunt

Everyone will receive a digital Treasure Hunt booklet (PDF) featuring 6–8 famous objects and artefacts hidden throughout the British Museum. Your challenge is to explore the museum with your group and find each one.

🏆 The first person to successfully find all of the featured objects and notify the host will win a prize! 🎉

❤️ Matches

At the end of the experience, you'll have the opportunity to write down the names of up to 3 people you'd like to stay in touch with.

If two people choose each other, it's a match! 🎉

The host will privately introduce your details after the event, making it easy to continue the conversation.

☕ Coffee & Connections

We'll finish at the beautiful Great Court Café , where everyone can share their favourite discovery from the museum before enjoying coffee, lunch or a drink together.

There's absolutely no pressure—just a relaxed opportunity to spend more time with the people you've connected with.
