Bringing men, women and people together for a relaxed evening of connection and conversation on the topic of dating and relationships
About this Event

Are you single, thoughtful and curious about the world of dating, or perhaps a little confused or daunted by it?
Are you bored of Bumble, tired of Tinder and disillusioned with the online dating scene and ready to form meaningful connections in real life?
Are you interested in meeting like-minded men, women and people in a safe, relaxed environment, sharing the ups and downs of dating and hearing insights from a trusted relationship coach?

Are you ready to embrace the awkwardness of meeting new people (essential for successful dating) but in a supportive space where everyone is in the same boat?
If so, Let's Talk About Dating is the event for you.

It's the perfect opportunity to connect with people in real life, to explore your dating challenges and to hear Katherine's tried-and-tested approach to dating and finding a healthy relationship, alongside having some fun.


"Absolutely brilliant. Fantastically facilitated and a really good opportunity to practice my dating skills. I definitely feel more hopeful" - Viv, event attendee


"I found the session energising - connecting with like-minded people. The questions were thought-provoking and I’ve already developed a little action plan for myself" - Caroline, event attendee


Your Host

This event is curated and hosted by Katherine Baldwin, a respected Love, Dating & Relationship Coach and the author of 'How to Fall in Love', with a proven track record of supporting people to date differently and form healthy partnerships.
