Board Games Speed Dating in Camden (Ages 25-38)
**\*\*To book your ticket for this event please go here [https://dateinadash.com/events/london/camden/play-date/15Apr2026-7847](https://dateinadash.com/events/london/camden/play-date/15Apr2026-7847)\*\***
We’re excited to relaunch Play Date, our hugely popular games-themed speed dating night for fun-loving singles aged 25-38. Hosted by the experienced team at DateinaDash, this is speed dating – but not as you know it.
**What Makes Play Date Different?**
This is an activity-based speed dating event, meaning you won’t just be making small talk across a table. You’ll be laughing, playing and connecting through a series of short, interactive games designed to break the ice naturally.
Expect a mix of:
• Classic board games (think nostalgic favourites)
• Creative mini challenges (yes, a little playful competition!)
• Light-hearted surprises throughout the night
• Possibly even a round of Twister if you’re brave enough…
The activities keep things relaxed, give you something to talk about instantly, and help personalities shine.
**How the Evening Works**
7:30pm arrival – Meet your host, grab a drink from the bar and settle in.
Once everyone’s arrived, we’ll explain how it all works (it’s simple).
You’ll meet 15–20 local singles in a series of short 4–5 minute dates.
Ladies remain seated while gents rotate between tables.
Activities are designed to last just long enough to spark chemistry without pressure.
There’ll also be a short break to refresh your drink and mingle more freely.
You’ll receive a scorecard to note your matches (or you can select them discreetly on your phone via our website). The next day, we’ll notify you of any mutual matches and you can message securely through our platform.
**The Crowd**
Our Camden events attract a brilliant mix of sociable, ambitious and down-to-earth singles from Camden and surrounding areas. Many are young professionals looking to meet people locally in a more authentic way.
We’ve been hosting speed dating in the area for nearly 15 years, so you’re in safe hands. Unlike companies that struggle to balance numbers, we work hard to ensure a great turnout and an equal mix of men and women.
**Why Try It?**
• Meet up to 20 people in one evening
• No awkward long dates
• No endless messaging
• Just real-life chemistry
Around 80% of our guests receive at least one match. And if you don’t meet anyone you’d like to stay in touch with, you can attend another event for free.
If you’re 25-38, single, and ready to swap swiping for something more social, Play Date is your move.
Come for the games. Stay for the connection. ❤️
For any questions about this event, please contact us at [enquiries@dateinadash.com ](mailto:enquiries@dateinadash.com)or call our bookings hotline on 0845 862 1448 (9am–5pm).

Park but the lands and atmosphere are so beautiful. What contributes to the beauty are the deers and the horses that gives it that farm/forest aura.
After this, if all goes well and you still want to stay out, we can let democracy decide where we can hang out further.

**👣 GROUP PACE & PARTICIPATION GUIDELINES**
This is a friendly, social hike where we walk together and enjoy the experience as a group.
Please stay with the group rather than hiking ahead independently, as the aim is to connect and share the journey.
Participants should choose events suited to their fitness level and be able to maintain the advertised pace. The overall pace will not be adjusted for individuals.
A back marker may not always be present, so please keep others in sight and remain within a reasonable distance of the group.
To help keep the group together: Faster walkers should wait at junctions. If someone ahead is moving significantly slower, feel free to pass and stay with the main group. Organisers may pause at suitable points to regroup
While we make reasonable efforts to keep everyone together, it is not practical or safe to stop frequently for individuals who are unable to maintain the pace. In such cases, participants may need to continue at their own pace.
If you choose to move ahead of the group or leave the group structure, you will be considered to be continuing independently and responsible for your own route and safety. If you do so without informing an organiser, it will be assumed that you are managing independently.
By attending, you agree to follow these guidelines.

**EXIT POINTS**
Taxis can be arranged from Perry Green and Much Hadham

**CONTACT**
📞 For pre-event questions, please message the event host via Meetup. On the day of the walk, if required, you may contact [AdrianB](https://www.meetup.com/members/287692462/) via WhatsApp on +44 (0) 7438 812 663.

🏘️Offline Women Explore Pretty London: Notting Hill
Join us for our series where **Offline Women Explore Pretty London**, visiting different neighbourhoods to enjoy the most charming pockets of our city only through our eyes.
The first walk in this series will be through **Notting Hill**. I am not a tour guide and this is not a formal trek. The idea is to wander and see what gems we can find together.
We will look for those secluded mews, undiscovered cafés, tree-lined streets, artisan bakeries, and bookshops that allow you to escape in a huge capital city like London.
To keep things truly offline, this is a phone-free and photo-free walk. We live in the most photographed city in the world, but we often miss the soul of it because we are busy framing the shot.
We ask everyone to keep their phones tucked away for the whole walk. It is a bit of a rebellious way to explore London, but let’s see how much more we notice when we are fully present for these quiet and gentle moments.
There is no set agenda, just good conversation and nice streets. Whether you are a London local or just moved here, come along and wander with us. Just remember to wear comfortable shoes and leave the digital world behind for a couple of hours.
This series is inspired by the book [prettycitylondon](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/35888470-prettycitylondon).

Make New Friends At A Bookshop
Do you want to meet new people in a relaxing chill atmosphere surrounded by new books? Do you dislike loud and smelly places like pubs and clubs? This is the event for you.
Science and Philosophy Book Club is creating a new kind of meetup where people who love books and knowledge can meet new friends in a big book shop. We will explore around different sections of the book shop together as a group while making interesting conversations with each other. We will go to both fiction and non-fiction areas.
If you feel shy and feel nervous to come alone, I will make sure you will feel comfortable and accomodate to your needs. I will help introduce you to others so you can go over the barrier of anxiety when approaching a new person.
We will meet on the ground floor lounge area of Doubletree Hilton Hotel at 6 p.m. It is an amazing cosy bar with classy vibes. We will wait for everyone to show up while getting some drinks and socializing. At 7 p.m we will head to the Waterstones book store near Russel Square and UCL. After we explore the book store, we will come back to the hotel bar and stay there for the rest of the night.
This event requires £5 donation to cover the venue fees. You can pay via cash or card. Thank you for helping the book club!

Dodgeball is back again!
If you’ve been wanting to come out, this is an easy one to join. We’ll be playing for about 1.5 to 2 hours, you do not need to bring any equipment, and no experience is needed.

If it rains, the event will be canceled.
Zinfandel, Finally on a Friday
We have never until now featured Zinfandel, the ubiquitous California grape with the Dublin Wine MeetUp Group. At its best Zinfandel, is rich, voluptuous, with great depth of red and blue fruits. Jammy and hedonistic are common descriptions Each person should bring one bottle of an quality Zinfandel wine; be creative and quality conscious, with some bottle age if possible. Turley, Martinelli, Biale, Seghesio, Ridge, Hartford Bedrock, Carlisle, Klinker Brick, Frog's Leap, and anything from the Rockpile vineyard is likely to be very good to great. The Prisoner wines began as a Zinfandel blend. Also bring a protein based appetizer to share and **a wine glass for your personal use.** Cheese and meats are best with these wines. There will be a gas grill behind the clubhouse to grill.
We’ll gather at the Oak Creek clubhouse, where the Dublin Wine Group, hosted by Thom and supported by Timothy, will take it from there.
Come join us for a fantastic mix of great wine, food, and even better company! The evening wraps up at 10 PM.
**Please pay $10 at the door per person to cover the cost of the room rental and for the tableware, napkins, water and cups.**
