Why Icebreaker Events Are the Future of Dating
For many singles, online dating has become more frustrating than fun—endless swiping, ghosting, and impersonal messages that never lead anywhere. At It’s a Date, we believe meeting someone should be effortless, natural, and most importantly, fun! That’s why our icebreaker events have become so popular.
Rather than sitting across from someone in an awkward one-on-one setting or hoping for a match on an app, our events allow singles to bond over shared activities, break the ice naturally, and create connections in a relaxed and engaging environment. From Board Games Nights to Crazy Golf, Bowling, Cocktail Masterclasses, and even a Walk in the Park, there’s something for everyone.
Games Themed Speed Dating
If you’re looking for a relaxed way to meet new people, Games Themed Speed Dating at Draughts London is a perfect choice. Forget the small talk—board games bring people together in a natural and engaging way. Whether you’re playing a competitive match or a cooperative challenge, you’ll find that conversation flows effortlessly.
Hosted in The Loft, a stylish private space with exposed brickwork, a buzzing atmosphere, and a private bar, this event is one of our most interactive. Strategy-based classics or lighthearted party games—there’s something for everyone, ensuring a fun and easy way to meet like-minded singles.
Crazy Golf
Looking for a quirky, lighthearted way to meet new people? Crazy Golf Speed Dating at Plonk, London Bridge brings singles together through playful competition and relaxed interactions.
Paired in small groups, guests rotate around the London-themed mini-golf course, meeting new people at each hole. Whether you’re a pro at putting or just there for the laughs, this event is all about fun, connections, and maybe a little flirty competition. It’s a dating experience unlike any other—no pressure, just great vibes.
Singles Bowling
Our Bowling Speed Dating at All Star Lanes is where singles come together for a mix of competition and socialising. Whether you’re racking up strikes or laughing at the occasional gutter ball, this event makes meeting people easy and fun.
Set in an intimate retro-style venue, this is a chance to let loose, have fun, and meet new people in a laid-back setting. With drinks flowing and our hosts ensuring introductions happen, you’ll have plenty of chances to find a connection—both on and off the lanes.
Cocktail Masterclass
Fancy mixing things up? Our Mixology Masterclass at The Alchemist is perfect for singles who love cocktails and a fun atmosphere. Led by expert mixologists, you’ll shake, stir, and sip your way through an interactive session that’s as social as it is delicious.
Whether you’re a little Old Fashioned or more of a Cosmopolitan, you’ll have a fantastic time getting hands-on with cocktail-making while mingling with other guests. A great icebreaker, a lively venue, and expertly crafted drinks—it’s a winning recipe for an unforgettable night.
Sunday Park Walk
Prefer a more wholesome and relaxed way to meet new people? Our Regent’s Park Walk offers an alternative to loud bars and forced small talk.
With 30+ guests, this 6.5 km scenic stroll through Regent’s Park and Primrose Hill is the perfect way to connect while enjoying the great outdoors. Fresh air, beautiful views, coffee (or tea), and homemade brownies—what’s not to love? If swiping isn’t your thing, why not switch scrolling for strolling and see where the walk takes you?
