Mystery and mingling. No speed dating ❤️ All for Age UK Hertfordshire

A Mystery Singles Night, with Purpose

For 270,000 older people in England, a whole week can pass without speaking to a friend or family member. And loneliness isn’t always about being alone. Sometimes it’s about going unnoticed, unheard or simply not having someone to share a conversation with.

We’re bringing 52 singles together in Hitchin for a festive evening of meeting new people, making connections and raising money for Age UK Hertfordshire.

This December our mystery mingle comes to The Orange Tree. All ticket money, minus card fees, goes to Age UK Hertfordshire, which runs befriending, Tea and Chat and lunch clubs for older people.

“Community events that bring people together and help foster meaningful relationships are incredibly valuable.” Mark Hanna, Chief Executive, Age UK Hertfordshire

Where does my money go?

Be Dating Beautiful will donate all ticket money, minus card/ processing fees, to Age UK Hertfordshire, within 7 days of the event.

How it works

Everyone receives a sealed envelope on arrival. Inside is your secret role.

A handful of guests are Suspects, each with secrets to keep. Everyone else is a Spark.

Ask questions, swap clues, and pin what you hear on the theory board.

Clues are released through the night. Votes go in by 9:30pm and the big reveal follows at 10pm.

Best Detective: spots the most Suspects

Best Mystery Guest: the Suspect who gets the fewest votes

Also on the night

Raffle/ silent auction with prizes donated by local businesses. Every penny goes to the charity.

The 365 pledge: members can pledge small acts of connection during the year, so that together we cover every day.
