About this Event

Please note that Ladies tickets have sold out.

Escape the apps for an afternoon and join us for a relaxed singles social in the beautiful garden at The Oddfellows Arms, Harpenden.

Designed for singles who enjoy genuine conversation, good company and meeting new people in a welcoming environment, this laid-back afternoon mixer offers the perfect opportunity to connect with like-minded locals without the pressure of traditional dating events. Whether you’re newly single, returning to dating after a break, or simply looking to expand your social circle, you’ll find a friendly community waiting to welcome you.

What to Expect

• Relaxed socialising in the garden
• Drinks and conversation with local singles
• Fun conversation cards and icebreakers to help get chats flowing naturally
• Covered and heated outdoor space, whatever the British weather decides to do
• Optional stone-baked pizzas available from 4pm should you fancy sharing a slice

There are no timers, no awkward rotations and no pressure. This event focuses on creating a welcoming social atmosphere rather than strict gender balancing. While we monitor bookings, our priority is bringing together a vibrant community of local singles who enjoy meeting new people in real life.

Why Be Dating Beautiful Events Work

More and more singles are stepping away from endless swiping and choosing real-life connections instead. Our events are designed to create opportunities for genuine conversations and authentic connections to happen naturally. Many guests attend on their own and quickly discover they’re not the only one. The focus isn’t on forcing romance, it’s about creating an enjoyable social experience where new friendships, dates and connections can develop naturally.

But don’t just take our word for it…

“The beauty is that this is not just about dating, it’s about building a community of singles and expanding your circle. Best decision I’ve made in a long time.” – Past attendee

“A brilliant event. Friendly people, great atmosphere and no pressure. I’ll definitely be back.” – Past attendee

Coming Alone?

Perfect. Most of our guests attend solo and that’s exactly how our events are designed. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be welcomed into the group and introduced to other guests, making it easy to settle in and start chatting.
