Hosted by The Real Life Dating Collective, this isn't speed dating or another night spent swiping on apps. It's an enjoyable evening where you can meet like-minded people naturally through fun activities, conversation, and a friendly atmosphere. 🍸

Reviews

"Having decided the trials and tribulations of dating apps weren't for me, The Real Life Dating Collective ads on Facebook stirred a sceptical interest, and I thought, why not? Why not proved to be a great decision; two genuine, fun ladies who want to create a safe, relaxed and fun atmosphere to bring people together. It works really well. You should try it."

"Bethan and Annie were the perfect hosts - friendly, relaxed and very welcoming. From having felt hesitant about walking in on my own and not knowing what to expect at all, I needn't have worried! Everyone was friendly, nothing felt forced and we all had some good laughs as well as enjoying the ice breaker and a fun quiz. I'd definitely be interested in going to future events!"

"It was brilliant! Not only did I meet loads of guys but I met some really lovely girls who I'm now friends with! It was great to put myself out there and meet people in person and have such a fun night out!"
