Real-life singles events in Hitchin, Hertford & St Albans, for people who want more than dating apps and awkward mixers.
Forget awkward speed dating drinks. Be Dating Beautiful creates singles nights across Hertfordshire that are about living, laughing, moving, and connecting, naturally.

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.
From annual ski trips to registering for her first half marathon, Eleni believes connection happens when people get out of their comfort zones, together. This philosophy runs through every Be Dating Beautiful event….Just people, showing up as they are.
