Pitch Your Friend + Singles Events by Gareth Lewis

You're curious, sociable, and done with swiping. You want real conversation, not another match that goes nowhere. Sound familiar?

Join us for an evening of speed dating designed for young professionals in London who are serious about meeting someone, and want to enjoy the process. No awkward silences, no endless messaging. Just good people, good conversation, and a glass of prosecco to get things started.

How it works:
Doors open at 5PM, dating starts soon after at 5:20PM. You'll have a series of short, fun dates before moving on. At the end of the evening, submit your matches. If it's mutual, we'll connect you by email shortly after.

Tickets includes a glass of prosecco on arrival.
Numbers are kept balanced and capped to give everyone the best chance of meeting someone great.

Ladies, bringing a wingman?
Speed dating is always more fun with a friend. Buy one women's ticket and one men's ticket, drop us an email at hello@garethlewis.co, and we'll refund you £5 from your order.

Dating in 2026 can be hard. Who doesn’t have app fatigue? Join us at The Tivoli in Cambridge for an IRL dating experience like no other. In this event, you’ll get a chance to pitch your friend to a room full of awesome other singles.

If you’re pitching: all you need to do is create a 3-5 minute slide deck (Google Slides, PowerPoint - whatever you prefer) that shows off all the best things about your friend. You’ll then need to take to the mic and give your pitch to the room. You might just be playing cupid!
We will have time for mingling in the break and after the pitches - so plenty of time to work your charm if someone catches your eye.

Not pitching? No worries - there are plenty of spots in the audience and you’ll still get to join in with the mingling of course.

Doors will open at 7PM with the presentations starting from about 8PM.
Key info for pitchers:
Please arrive at the venue close to 7PM so we can introduce you to the equipment and run through any issues
You can make your presentations in a range of formats (Canvas, PowerPoint, Keynote, Google Slides). Please send them to hello@garethlewis.co no later than 10PM the day before the event in either Google Slides or PowerPoint format

When making your presentations, please be mindful of your friend’s privacy. Don’t include anything they will be mortified to have featured, and consult with them what contact details are appropriate to share (or not). Instagram handles might be okay, but not home addresses!

Please get in touch at hello@garethlewis.co if you have any questions or accessibility needs.
