About this Event

Bored of Dating Apps? Ready for something real?

Join us for a relaxed Singles Social at the stunning Victorian venue 📍 Malt Cross — a warm, welcoming space designed for genuine conversation and effortless connection.

This is not speed dating.
No wastetimers. No awkward rotations. No pressure.

Just a bar, everyone single.

Flamingo Dating encourages people to meet each other in real life, under our wing (no pun intended), where you’ll find a balanced crowd and great energy. Proud to have hosted 600+ singles at our events in Nottingham.

So far, guests have exchanged numbers, gone on dates, made new friends — and yes, there have even been a few sparks 👀

Whether you’re looking for a social night, romance, meet like-minded people or just quality conversation, this is your room.

Arrive before 7:30 pm and get a Free prosecco or soft drink — consider it your first conversation starter.

Come solo (most people do) or bring a friend.
Either way, don’t sit this one out.

One good conversation can change everything ❤️


The age guide for this event is anyone 30s & 40s

We keep track of tickets to maintain a balanced ratio of genders

Flamingo Dating has teamed up with the iconic venue Malt Cross to bring you this event! Held in a private section upstairs. They are giving a FREE prosecco or soft drink to anyone who arrives before 7.30 pm.


Why You Should Attend… ✅

· Over 70% of our attendees come solo, so dont worry about bringing a friend if you're the only single in your friend group. Come solo!

· Icebreaker questions, fun games to play, and other activities in our events (Optional to partake).

· Friendly hosts present in case you need anything.

· You get a free drink, if arriving before 7.30

· Flamingle and you never know who you could meet.


Why Dating Apps Suck ⚠️

· An uneven balance - 15% of users on dating apps in the UK are women, and 85% are men.

· 50% of single Britons have never asked anyone on a date in person.

· You can’t read a person’s body language, facial expressions or tone of voice.

· Too much choice is bad, this can lead to decision overload, superficial judgement and ghosting.


Considerations & Guidance ❤

· To clarify, this is NOT a speed dating event.

· Respect personal boundaries and space.

· Don’t assume romantic interest just because someone is talking to you.

· If you meet someone you like, feel free to ask for their contact information and potentially plan a date.

· Pre-booking is recommended. Secure your ticket now as only a limited number are available. If you arrive on the day without a ticket, you may purchase one at the door if tickets have not been sold out.

· This event is aimed towards anyone in their 30s & 40s. Our events in general cover 20 - 60.

· We keep track of tickets to maintain a balanced ratio of genders.
