About this Event


About ZEST

ZEST offers welcoming real-life events for singles over 50 in Exeter and across Devon.

Different events offer different ways to meet someone — from relaxed social experiences through to structured dating events.

Real-life events. No apps. No pressure.


What To Expect

The evening begins with drinks in the rooftop bar before moving through to dinner together in The View Restaurant — a modern and stylish venue within the Courtyard by Marriott at Sandy Park.

Numbers are intentionally limited to 7 men and 7 women, creating a relaxed and intimate atmosphere where everyone has the opportunity to talk naturally throughout the evening.

Hosted by Sarah, founder of ZEST, the evening is designed to feel welcoming, comfortable and easy to step into, whether it’s your first event or you already know a few people through ZEST. Sarah will be seated at the end of the table and hosting throughout.

After the main course, the gentlemen will be invited to move seats, helping everyone enjoy conversation with different people throughout the evening in a relaxed and natural way.

Date & Dine is designed to create opportunities for conversation and connection. Guests are encouraged to exchange details during the evening if they’d like to stay in touch afterwards.

The View offers a contemporary setting, relaxed atmosphere, seasonal menus and the added benefit of free on-site parking.


Who Can Attend

This event is for singles aged 50–65.

You’re very welcome whether it’s your first ZEST event or you’ve attended before. Many guests come along on their own, looking to meet someone in a relaxed and natural way.
