Attending dating events for singles over 40 is a refreshing, enjoyable experience that blends social connection with the opportunity for romance in a comfortable, age-appropriate setting. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming—no pressure, just a chance to meet like-minded people who are also looking to build meaningful relationships. Events are thoughtfully designed to encourage natural conversation, whether through speed dating rounds, group activities, or casual mingling over drinks. Attendees often find it easier to connect, as everyone shares similar life stages, values, and interests. It's not just about dating—it’s about rediscovering fun, confidence, and connection.
At a dating event for over 40s, you can expect a relaxed, sociable evening designed to make meeting new people feel natural and enjoyable. When you arrive, you'll be warmly welcomed by event hosts who explain how the evening will unfold—whether it's speed dating, a mixer, or a themed event like wine tasting or a quiz night.
Most events take place in private areas of stylish bars, lounges, or event spaces, offering a comfortable environment where you can chat without shouting over loud music. There’s usually a mix of men and women aged 40 to mid-60s, all there for the same reason: to meet others open to dating and genuine connection.

On The Day Of The Event
You will receive a reminder email confirming the event details - it's time to get ready, look fabulous and head to the event. Aim to arrive as close to the start time as possible so you can meet as many True Daters as possible. When you arrive at the venue, ask the staff for the True Dating party and you'll be directed to our privately reserved area. Our fantastic host will be on hand to welcome you.
During The Event
When you arrive, our friendly hosts will be there to greet you with a warm smile and a name badge (whether you choose to wear it is completely up to you!). They'll also provide you with a complimentary welcome drink before 8pm to kickstart the party vibes. Our hosts are there to make sure you have an amazing time. If you ever feel like you could use a hand with introductions, they'll be more than happy to assist. However, the best part is, you simply need to strike up a conversation with anyone who catches your eye. It's as easy as that!
After The Event
The following day you will be able to log in to your True Dating account and enter your matches from the night. Your three options will be "Love", "Friend" or "No". Your matches will need to entered by 4pm as this is when the online system closes. If for any reason you can't enter them in time, just drop us an email, and we'll do our best to resolve this. Fingers crossed the stars align, and you get a mutual match, you will be able to message each other via our secure messaging service (and hopefully start arranging date #2!)
So, why not come along? 90% of our attendees get at least one match at our events. And if you don't, we guarantee your next event will be free!
I had been hesitant to attend speed dating events, but I'm so glad I did! I met some great people and even ended up dating one of them. Thank you, True Dating, for hosting such fun and inclusive events!
I've always been nervous about attending singles event London alone, but True Dating's events made me feel comfortable and welcome. I ended up making some great friends and would try again.
I'm not a big fan of dating apps and was looking for a different way to meet people. I met some great people at Shoreditch speed dating and even had a few dates. I highly recommend their events to anyone looking to expand their social circle and meet new people.
Attended singles party in Marylebone and met some lovely ladies so will definitely go again to your events.
Not as scary as I thought! Loved the host Lucy and event had a very chilled vibe.
So much better than dating apps. Nice to meet people in real life and actually see quickly if you like them or not. Didn’t meet anyone I liked but want to keep trying it out.
