Pitch Your Friend - IRL Dating Night

Dating in 2026 can be hard. Who doesn’t have app fatigue? Join us at The London Art Bar for an IRL dating experience like no other. In this event, you’ll get a chance to pitch your friend to a room full of awesome other singles.

If you’re pitching: all you need to do is create a 3-5 minute slide deck (Google Slides, PowerPoint - whatever you prefer) that shows off all the best things about your friend. You’ll then need to take to the mic and give your pitch to the room. You might just be playing cupid!

We will have time for mingling in the break and after the pitches - so plenty of time to work your charm if someone catches your eye.

Not pitching? No worries - there are plenty of spots in the audience and you’ll still get to join in with the mingling of course.

Doors will open at 7PM with the presentations starting from about 8PM.

FAQs

Who can attend? The event is open to everybody (18+). You don’t have to be single to attend the event or pitch - morale support from our coupled up friends is important! (We’ll have some different wristbands to avoid any of those awkward conversations…)

I need some pitching inspiration! We’ll be releasing some templates closer to the time if you need inspo. Pop us an email at [email protected] if you need any extra event.

Is this event LGBTQ+ inclusive? Yes! We’re hoping there will be a great mix of people and a fun mixer for people regardless of sexual orientation

I want to pitch my friend but the pitching spots are gone! Get in touch with us at [email protected] and we’ll add you to the waiting list. You might want to get an attendee ticket in the meantime so you don’t risk missing out.

How do we stay in touch after the event? We would recommend agreeing this with your friend before your pitch. Are they happy sharing their insta handles with the room?
