This year, Todd in the Hole is introducing its first-ever Singles Area, a fun, natural space where sparks can fly without awkward online chats, catfishing or ghosting.

Real people, real connections, real fun!

It’s time for something different! Welcome to the Singles Experience at Todd in the Hole!

It’s no secret, people are done with mindless scrolling and ghosting games. The stats speak for themselves:

  • 1.4 million Brits quit dating apps last year.
  • 16% drop in usage across the top 10 dating apps.
  • 71% of men report encountering fake profiles.
  • 78% of dating app users say they feel “emotionally, mentally, or physically exhausted” by the experience.
  • Nearly 38% of UK male dating app users wish they had never used them at all!

Happening from 11th-13th July in Todds Green, Hertfordshire, this epic festival boasts: 🎸 Six stages and over 80 acts
Unforgettable headliners including Definitely Could Be Oasis, Massaoke, and after-parties in the woods with Alex P and Club de Fromage.

And now, a dedicated space for singles to meet naturally, have fun, and make real-life connections! View their full line up here.

After four years of online dating exhaustion, I threw in the towel and wouldn’t you know it? I met someone in real life! That ‘aha’ moment sparked Be Dating Beautiful (BDB), a movement to help singles ditch dating apps and meet in exciting real-life experiences.

“With BDB, I’m on a mission to help singles break free from the dating app cycle and spark real connections at events they already love! Todd Festival is the perfect place to start! It’s been close to my heart for years, and I couldn’t be more excited to collaborate for this event”.

Eleni Koureas, Founder of Be Dating Beautiful

“Todd has always been about bringing people together through great music and unforgettable experiences. Partnering with Be Dating Beautiful takes that connection to the next level, helping festival-goers meet like-minded people in a natural, fun, and relaxed setting. It would be the icing on the cake if we ended up with a Todd25 couple!”
