'Mates & Dates' Social and Singles Mixer
There was a time when you could pop down to the pub on a Friday night and make 5 new friends, flirt with a baddie at the bar, or mingle with friendly strangers on the dance floor.
Third spaces are dying and connecting in the wild is becoming a lost art! (*cue loneliness epidemic!*)
We're bringing back talking to people IRL and you won't leave this mixer without a new mate, a number or two, or at least some really ripper convos under your belt.
Presented to you by Freya Graf, host of The Labia Lounge podcast and sponsored by the Find Freya A Fella campaign, this will be a night of connection, laughter, and taking the shot in a safe environment where everyone's in the same boat.
We're all craving deeper connection and more IRL community, so come get it!
You don't have to be single to attend, though this event does aim to be an antidote to disposable swipe culture and the fear of approaching people in person, so asking someone for their number for a date or pitching your single friend to a babe is encouraged!
There'll be some thoughtful social lubrication provided in the form of ice breakers (not the usual kind, we promise!) and 'Party Pillars' - folk specifically chosen for their yapping skills who'll wander around and make conversation, facilitate introductions, and generally ensure a good vibe for all!
So you can come alone or bring a friend - either way, we've got you!
