About us

We're based right here in Manchester, the heart of the North, where real connections meet great vibes. Whether you're a local who's always called Manchester home or you've recently settled into the city, this is the place to meet other singles who are looking for something genuine and lasting. Our events are scattered across the city from cozy cafes in the Northern Quarter to scenic walks through Heaton Park so there's always something nearby that feels comfortable and familiar.

We believe that showing up is half the magic, so we encourage members to come to at least one event a month to really get involved. It's not about being the most active person in the group, but about staying open and present. The more you participate, the more you'll start recognizing friendly faces, building comfort, and forming real bonds. This isn't a passive swipe and hope kind of scene it's about putting yourself out there in a supportive, pressure free space.

No need to overthink it or pack a suitcase just bring your authentic self and a positive attitude. We handle all the details, from booking the spots to planning the activities, so all you have to do is show up. Whether it's a board game night, a food tasting tour, or a weekend hike, everything is designed to spark real conversation and shared laughter. Just wear something comfy, maybe a light jacket if we're heading outdoors, and let the rest unfold naturally.

If you're tired of endless swiping and surface level chats, Granite Heart Love Refuge is your fresh start. This is for singles who want more than a date they want a connection that matters. We're all about creating space for meaningful moments, where friendships can grow into something deeper, organically and without rush. Join us and rediscover how fun and fulfilling it can be to meet someone real, right here in your own city.
