Description
Hosted by Be Dating Beautiful, this is all about bringing people together in real life. No pressure, no awkwardness, just good company, fresh air and a chance to connect.
Come solo or bring a friend. Everyone is welcome.
We’ll be soaking up the summer solstice with a laid-back afternoon of chatting, games and sunshine.
Free Event (But Book Your Spot)
This is a free event, but we ask everyone to reserve a ticket.
It helps us:

• Update you if the British weather does its thing
Please don’t “maybe” show up

Supporting The Marmalade Trust
This event supports the Marmalade Trust, the creators of Loneliness Awareness Week.
They’re leading the conversation around loneliness in the UK, helping to reduce stigma and support those experiencing chronic loneliness.
Loneliness is something most of us feel at some point in life, but when it becomes prolonged, it can impact both mental and physical well-being.
If you’re able to, donations are warmly welcomed via our JustGiving page.
Because meeting people in real life still matters.
