Single in Hertforshire?
Whether you’re newly single, divorced, or simply looking to meet new people in Hertfordshire, our games nights create genuine opportunities to connect without pressure.
We’ve been running our Hertford Singles Games Night for months now, and it’s become one of the favourites in the Be Dating Beautiful calendar. The vibe? Think less dating event… more fun night out where you get to unleash your inner big kid for the evening.
Most guests come solo, so if you’re feeling nervous about arriving on your own, you genuinely won’t be the only one. From the moment you walk in, we’ll help make introductions and get you settled in. And honestly? Those pre-event nerves usually disappear within the first game, first laugh, or first conversation.
So what actually happens when you arrive?
How the night works
7:30pm arrival: Meet in our reserved games area, grab a drink, and ease into the evening. Age-grouped rotations: When booking, you’ll choose the age group that suits you best:
- 35–44
- 45–54
- 55–65
On the night, guests are grouped by age and gently rotated through three different games, so you’ll naturally meet everyone in your group, with plenty of time for drink breaks, laughs, and relaxed chats along the way.
You’ll spend around 40 minutes at each game before everyone comes together for a final mingle — so if you’ve spotted someone in another age group, don’t worry… there’ll still be a chance to say hello.
Why Be Dating Beautiful is Different
This isn’t about dating harder. It’s about creating a life you’re excited to show up for. Be Dating Beautiful was founded by Eleni, after her own experience of divorce and rediscovering confidence and connection through saying yes to life again.

Why Hertford Singles Are Choosing Games Nights Over Dating Apps
More singles across Hertfordshire are stepping away from dating apps and looking for real-life ways to meet people. Endless swiping, repetitive conversations, and dating fatigue have made many people rethink how they connect.
In Hertford, we’re seeing more demand for social, activity-based nights where meeting people feels natural again, not forced.
That’s exactly what this event is designed for. Unlike speed dating or structured mixers, there are no timers, no rotations, and no pressure to “perform”. Instead, connection happens naturally through games, laughter, and shared experiences.
Guests often tell us it feels far more relaxed than expected, especially for those who are shy or haven’t been to a singles event before. The goal is simple: it feels like a great night out first, and a singles event second.
