**[️🎟️ Grab your ticket here ️ 🎟️](https://luma.com/3jyh6a2m)** **➞ There will be 50-60 people coming as I promote this event on multiple platforms.** **Route:** Regent’s Park **Meeting point:** Emailed 24 hours before. **Walking time:** 1 - 3pm **Social:** 3pm onwards Not your average walk club. An intentionally slow-paced social walk built around deeper conversation, real connection, and a more thoughtful kind of socialising, offering the perfect chance to reconnect to yourself, others, and nature. Before we start, everybody will be given carefully curated conversation cards to spark deeper, more honest conversations. If you’re bored of shallow socialising and addictive apps, this is for you. **[️🎟️ Grab your ticket here ️ 🎟️](https://luma.com/3jyh6a2m)** Unseen community hosts monthly socials, dinners & walks in London. We offer curated social experiences in beautiful spaces, designed for curious minds who are bored of shallow socialising and addictive apps, and want deeper conversation & real connection. Register here if you are joining us on the walk. Join our walking club **[WhatSapp community here](https://chat.whatsapp.com/F92j6Cf7wLc2dKciQvg6nu?mode=gi_t)** where I'll send location pins and walk info. **WALK FAQS** **Will there be photography?** Yes. We will take photos and videos during the walk, including some flash. To be excluded, tell a team member before we start. **Where might photos and videos from the walk appear?** On our Instagram, website, emails, press coverage, and sometimes in partner or promotional material. **What’s the vibe like?** Relaxed, thoughtful and friendly. Slow-paced, welcoming, and a bit deeper than your usual social. **What do people do after?** We all go to a cafe and continue the conversations. This is also a great way to meet other groups or people you haven’t spoken to yet. **Who will be hosting?** Myself (Ben) and some some team members/volunteers. **Do I have to have deep conversations?** We encourage using the conversation cards. The point of this walk is to go a bit deeper than a normal social event. If that does not appeal to you, this event may not be for you. **What topics will we be discussing?** Relationships, purpose, personal growth, identity, values, life direction and more. **[️](https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1987289631785?aff=oddtdtcreator)[🎟️ Grab your ticket here ️ 🎟️](https://luma.com/3jyh6a2m)** **Will it be very intense?** The aim is meaningful conversation, honesty and depth, not forced vulnerability. You do not have to talk about anything you do not want to, such as trauma or things you may be working on in therapy. This is not a therapeutic space, though if you are comfortable discussing more difficult things, that will not be unwelcome. **Do I have to walk slowly? How slow?** The idea is to slow down and take in the greenery, scenery, conversation, and the people around you. Expect a normal to slightly slower-than-normal pace. City walking is usually fast. This will be slower than that, but not painfully slow. **Do I need to come with someone?** No. Lots of people come alone. The format makes it easy to talk to people. **Is every walk in the same location?** No. Each walk takes place in a different part of London, always chosen for its greenery, scenery and nature. **How much walking is involved?** Around 5km at an easy pace. **What should I wear or bring with me?** Wear comfortable shoes and clothes that suit the weather. Bring water. **How often are the walks?** Monthly. **What happens if it rains or the forecast turns?** The walk will usually still go ahead. If conditions are unsafe, I will email everyone with an update. **Are there any behaviour rules?** Yes. Be respectful and do not make the walk uncomfortable for others. Harassment or harmful behaviour is not acceptable. **What should I do if there’s an issue on the day?** Speak to me (Ben) during the walk or email me afterwards so I can look into it properly. **[️🎟️ Grab your ticket here ️ 🎟️](https://luma.com/3jyh6a2m)** **Please note:** Experiences and perspectives may be discussed, but this is not a therapeutic space and does not provide medical or psychological advice.

BOOK YOUR TICKET 👉🏼 [HERE](https://itsadate.club/event/sunday-park-walk-31/). Connecting with potential partners is a walk in the park when you’re doing something you love! If you’re active, enjoy a good social scene, and are into the outdoors, join us with 30 single guests for a 6.5 km walk around the Regents Park and Primrose Hill Circular. Switch scrolling for strolling during this wholesome morning, which includes a hosted walk, coffee (or tea), and a homemade chocolate brownie. Meet Ollie, your host, outside Regents Bar and Kitchen in Regents Park Inner Circle and just a short walk from Baker Street Station. After a stroll around Queen Mary’s Garden, we will continue through Marylebone Green and the English Gardens of Regent’s Park. We’ll then head north, crossing Regents Canal via the Monkey Gate, and make our way up to the viewpoint at Primrose Hill. Here, we’ll stop for coffee and homemade brownies—a great opportunity to socialise more widely with the group and get to know as many people as possible. If the weather isn’t kind to us, we’ll take refuge in a nearby café around Primrose Hill. After this short interlude, we will continue clockwise on the circuit, re-joining The Board Walk in Regents Park as we pass London Zoo, and then return to Marylebone Green, where we’ll conclude at the Japanese Garden. This is a super-relaxed morning walk and a fantastic opportunity to meet a fun bunch of people while getting your steps in along the way. After the walk, the usual post-event matching and messaging will be available on your It’s a Date dashboard. Alternatively, there are plenty of nearby trails and cosy Marylebone pubs to extend your date with newfound connections.

Join us as we get together to see Paul Rudd in the latest comedy-drama-musical from John Carney, POWER BALLAD! The film follows a washed-up wedding singer, a fading boy band singer and a stolen hit song. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: Rick, a washed-up wedding singer, and Danny, a fading boy band star, bond over music and a late-night jam session. When Danny turns Rick's song into a hit, Rick sets out to reclaim the recognition he believes he deserves. Power Ballad is written/directed by John Carney, the master of the modern musical and creative mind behind Once, Begin Again and Sing Street! It stars Paul Rudd, Nick Jonas, Peter McDonald, Marcella Plunkett, Havana Rose Liu and Jack Reynor. BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film premiered to rave reviews at this year’s Dublin International Film Festival where critics call it “a sure-fired crowd-pleaser” that “just might be the feel-good hit of the year!” Others say, “Paul Rudd delivers a career-best performance in this charmer” that’s both “hilarious and deeply moving." The film continues John Carney’s “long run of success with yet another charmer” and “a sharp, hopeful crowd-pleaser that strikes the right notes!” SUMMER OF ICE CREAM, VOL 2: SHAKE NO. 8!

Join us for Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn! Fresh from a brief stay at a psych hospital, reporter Camille Preaker faces a troubling assignment: she must return to her tiny hometown to cover the unsolved murder of a preteen girl and the disappearance of another. For years, Camille has hardly spoken to her neurotic, hypochondriac mother or to the half-sister she barely knows: a beautiful thirteen-year-old with an eerie grip on the town. Now, installed in her old bedroom in her family's Victorian mansion, Camille finds herself identifying with the young victims—a bit too strongly. Dogged by her own demons, she must unravel the psychological puzzle of her own past if she wants to get the story-and survive this homecoming.

Let’s meet and share discussion of the James Baldwin short story collection, Going to Meet The Man.
