Friday the 23rd of May was game day here at Evntful or should I say event night - no pun intended. 


But yes on this day
Evntful held their second dating event at the Alcotraz, and it SOLD OUT! 


Following the success of Evntful's first event in collaboration with
Meraki Studios last month, it was only right that we came back bigger and stronger, ready to take the dating scene to new heights. 


If you missed that event, definitely check out our article
here as it gives you all the tea and goodies that were up for grabs and why it’s a must that you’re at the next Evntful extravaganza!


However, back to Friday the Alcotraz x Evntful collaboration consisted of a number of friends, daters, dating experts, singles and even the BBC gathering to participate in a night of wholesome fun!


As who doesn’t love mingling in a prison cell, with some cocktails, an orange jumpsuit and good vibes - because I certainly do!



So what even is the Alcotraz ? 


According to the Alcotraz themselves: 


“Hidden behind unassuming shutters deep within the capital lies Alcotraz London, also known as Cell Block Two-One-Two - a secret speakeasy prison cocktail bar and immersive theatrical experience. 


What makes this clink a little more bearable? Well, successfully smuggle in liquor with the help of our crooked guards and get it to the hands of Alcotraz’s canteen-working inmates, who will serve you up delicious, bespoke cocktails.


So if immersing yourselves in a prison styled cocktail night is your thing, then this may be your cup of tea, and the number one reason as to why you should definitely head down and give it a try for yourself.


As from what I’ve heard from some of the event goers themselves, this is a dating hotspot that everybody should try.

How did the BBC get onto the guest list? 


With 47% of singles favouring in person dating, due to it reducing the risk of someone hiding their true identity- we at Evntful wanted to showcase how singles can take online dating offline and still have fun. 


Our collaboration with Alcotraz, was the perfect opportunity to illustrate this, and
this is where the BBC got involved. 


They alongside our very own social media advisor Marina were interviewing attendees and getting the inside scoop regarding the event, the dating scene today and just genuine organic real life stories to display how activity based dating is on the rise. 


The Goodie Bag


If the above wasn’t enough for you then you will definitely be sold by the goodie bag of dreams that Evntful provided on the night! 


Inside you would have found some
Juno Bamboo Water, Freja Bone Broth, Baked goods by Matcha Mochi Cafe, and Cosmo Events for Evntini and Evntfling drinks - just to name a few! 


So with the
Evnt providing insight, television royalty otherwise known as the BBC and goodies too - surely you’ll be at the next Evntful event.


Right? 



Head to our
Instagram and share who else you would like to see us partner with.
