Questions before you come?

No. There are no timers, bells or compulsory one-to-one rotations. You can move around freely and let a good conversation continue.

Absolutely. Many guests will arrive alone. Your host will welcome you, explain the evening and help introductions happen naturally.

The Christmas Singles Party is intended mainly for singles aged 30 to 50, with some flexibility around that range.

No. Every activity is optional. The conversation cards and coloured stickers are simply there to make starting a conversation easier.

Event Match is an optional private Telegram space for people attending a UK Social Dating event. It helps attendees identify and reconnect with somebody they met during the evening.

No. UK Social Dating is built around meeting people face-to-face first. Only attendees receive access, by scanning the private Event Match QR code at the venue. No live QR code or permanent Telegram event invite is published on this website.

No. It is completely optional. You can still attend and enjoy UK Social Dating without joining Telegram or Event Match.

No. You can communicate through Telegram first and decide later whether you want to exchange other contact details. Your phone-number visibility depends on your own Telegram privacy settings; check Settings → Privacy & Security → Phone Number before attending.

The private Telegram group opens for messages at 10am on Sunday 20 December 2026 and closes on Saturday 26 December 2026. The QR code is only available to attendees at the event.

No. UKSD does not automatically match attendees. You choose who you would like to contact after meeting people at the event.

Only your first name and one clear current selfie. Event Match does not ask you to post your surname, address, workplace, phone number or dating-profile answers. You choose what else, if anything, to share with other attendees.

Other Event Match participants may be able to send you a Telegram message. There is no obligation to reply. Repeated or unwanted contact should be reported to the UK Social Dating host.

Your selfie is used within that event’s Event Match area to help other attendees identify you. The event content is removed when Event Match closes. Attendees must not screenshot, save or share another attendee’s photograph or information outside Event Match.

Smart casual is ideal, and festive jumpers are very welcome. Choose something that helps you feel comfortable and confident.

Tickets cost £20 and include entry to the hosted evening and one free drink on arrival. Places are limited to 50.

We will aim for a comfortable balance, but exact numbers cannot be guaranteed because bookings, cancellations and attendance can change.

Doors open at 7pm. You will check in, receive your free arrival drink and add your first name, an optional nickname and two conversation topics to your sticker. The Host will welcome everyone before the Love It or Hate It icebreaker begins at 7.15pm.

Yes. A nickname can be a fun conversation starter alongside your first name. It can be a real nickname or one you create just for the night—be creative, but keep it respectful. Event Match only asks you to add your first name and a current selfie.

Absolutely not. Your two coloured subjects appear on your sticker as conversation starters, not matching categories. You can speak to anyone you choose.

Refunds for the Christmas Singles Party are available until Saturday 12 December 2026. No refunds are available after that date. Please check the Eventbrite listing for any ticket-transfer arrangements.

Ticket holders can receive a discounted hotel room when they book directly with The Fellows House at least seven days before the event—by Saturday 12 December—and mention the Christmas Singles Party. Room availability is controlled by the hotel.

Yes. Step-free access is available. If you have a particular accessibility requirement, email hello@socialuk.co.uk before attending so it can be discussed in advance.

Any waiting-list arrangements will be explained on the official booking page. Joining an event waiting list will not add you to wider marketing unless you separately choose to hear about future events.

Each event will clearly state its intended age group and format. Future evenings will be developed for different communities and preferences.

The event creates a genuine opportunity to meet people; it cannot promise a relationship. A good conversation, an enjoyable evening or simply trying something new can still make the night worthwhile.
