What we’re about
contactsingles.co.uk
Every friend or partner started with the first hello!
We aim to provide a safe environment for you to make new friends and widen your social circle. We know how daunting it is for ladies to come alone to events so we can even put ladies coming alone in touch with each other beforehand. We'd like to offer this to you too guys but we know how strange you would think it was if we said we could network you with other men beforehand lol! We can only suggest that you arrive at the start of the event when we can properly introduce you into a mixed group of new arrivals and ease you in gently.
We have members from mainly 30 but we don't mind younger or older. We have big numbers at our events for Contact Singles (contactsingles.co.uk) when we hold them mostly monthly so there will still be plenty of people within your age range.
Meanwhile you will find many other events put on by our other organisers for their groups and you will see many of these events posted on this group.
Our sister London (& Hertfordshire & Essex) groups are very active with loads of events put on by different organizers. Feel free to join, with over 12,000 members between the groups!

- Nigerian Independence 3 Course Meal A Glass of Bubbly Supper Club-West NorwoodMy Pop Up Events Supper Club , London£55.00
Let's celebrate Nigerian Independence where food is not just about eating — it’s about community, celebration, and heritage. Join us for a delicious meal making food central to social and cultural life.
Nigeria at Independence: A Legacy of Resilience
Nigeria, the giant of Africa, carries a history defined by struggle, resilience, and triumph. At its heart lies Independence Day, celebrated every October 1st — the moment the nation broke free from British colonial rule and embraced self-determination.The Road to Freedom
Before colonialism, Nigeria was a tapestry of kingdoms and cultures with rich traditions of governance. The British gradually imposed control, but by the mid-20th century, inspired by global decolonization, Nigerian leaders like Nnamdi Azikiwe, Obafemi Awolowo, and Ahmadu Bello spearheaded the demand for self-rule. Their vision culminated on October 1, 1960, when the Union Jack was lowered and the Green-White-Green flag rose — a new dawn for Africa’s most populous nation.A Day of Unity and Pride
Each year, Independence Day rekindles that spirit of freedom. Parades, cultural displays, music, and reflection transform Nigeria into a living canvas of patriotism and diversity. It is a day not only to celebrate sovereignty but also to reaffirm the nation’s collective strength and future aspirations.Nigerian Independence Supper Club
Join us for an unforgettable evening of a 3 course Nigerian cuisine, culture, and celebration as we mark the nation's Independence Day in style!
Located in the heart of West Norwood at My Pop Up Event, a great space for a supper club.
What to Expect: A specially curated multi-course Nigerian menu
Afrobeat vibes, Great company & conversation, Celebrating our roots and community.
Dress Code: Come as you are — or wear a touch of green & white! Limited spots available – book early
Let’s eat, dance, and celebrate Nigeria together!Nigerian food reflects the country’s ethnic diversity, with over 250 ethnic groups, and varies by region, ingredients, and traditions. Nigerian cuisine is known for bold flavors, hearty meals, and colorful presentation, often combining spices, palm oil, vegetables, grains, and proteins.

- Social Drinks, Glass Of Wine or Beer With Italian Canapes in West NorwoodMy Pop Up Events , London£30.00
Join us for drinks in the heart of West Norwood With A Glass Of Wine or Beer For socializing and networking with Italian canapes, prepared by The Garden Gastro Bar in West Norwood
Enjoy a cosy atmosphere, great company, delicious canapes and of course, a glass of wine in hand, relax and unwind, with music in the background.
This event would be perfect for individuals who work from home, don't have work colleagues, or if you are looking to increase your social circle and making new friends.
We need to get out of our comfort zone, yes i know it’s very daunting coming out alone not knowing anyone, at least this way many will be in the same boat as you.
A perfect opportunity to connect people together, in a chilled out space with no pressure, a place to unwind after a crazy week at work, or hectic family life, listening to some good music in a great environment with great ambience. Let's lol, chat, dance, sing and meet new people together.
I love to see the connection people have built over time and great friendships formed along the way, knowing that they have found someone or people who shares their interests and love the things they love to do.
Many of our friends don't share the same interests, some let us down last minute, a few have a partner/married, some have moved out of London or overseas, or have a young family, or many have drifted away from old friends. So now is the time to connect with new friends or people who share your interest, where you never have to attend an event alone ever again.
So, if you’re looking to go out alone in a safe environment meet others for drinks laughter and good conversation join us.
Meet others for socialising and networking with background music, where the volume increases later for dancing, an opportunity to dance like you just don’t care, who cares who is watching come out and enjoy yourself.
PLEASE NOTE
This is NOT a singles night Event, however a place for people to connect and make new friends, meet like minded individuals. People can come alone and enjoy the night with others just like them, however if you meet the one lucky you and if not enjoy the evening anyway, it's not all about being in a relationship. Yes feel free to bring friends or your partner, everyone is welcome to attend, come and mingle with everyone, i love talking to strangers, it's all about connecting in a safe and fun environment, it's so good for the soul.A social evening where people can get together and let their hair down, a place to chill with likeminded individuals, positive vibes only.
