What a Peared singles event is like

No name tags. No standing in a corner holding a drink. Every event is built around an activity, so you always have something to talk about. Our hosts split the room into small groups and rotate them during the night, so you meet a lot of people without having to work the room yourself.

You can come solo. Honestly, it's easier that way. The format is designed so nobody ends up alone.

Social events: single or taken, everyone's welcome

Not every Peared night is a singles night. At our social events, everyone gets a colored wristband, one color for singles and another for people who are taken. Nobody has to explain themselves and nobody has to guess. Make friends, meet someone, or just enjoy the night as yourself.

Every event page says whether it's a Singles or Social event, and whether it's for straight guests or the LGBTQ+ community.

Singles events for every age group

Every event is listed by age range, so you know who'll be in the room before you buy a ticket.
