EVNTFUL is back with their latest event based dating extravaganzas, this time BIGGER and BETTER than ever before and let’s just say things are only looking up from here! 


Last weekend we sold out and brought together 40 strangers, yes you heard that right, 40 strangers, in a belt to play matchmaker and sprinkle some love back into London’s dating scene, and dare I say that it was a success.


With 3 guests winning “A Date on Evntful” for


  • Communication
  • Teamwork
  • Spirit it was definitely one not to miss!


If you managed to take a peak at the weather forecast over the last few weeks, and felt the scorching temperatures which have been engulfing London’s streets & homes - just know that it was us at
Evntful bringing the heat once more, in the form of a cheeky game of padel. 


The Evnt


If for any reason you have been living under a rock, or so happened to miss our latest event, then this is where I come in to give you all the juicy details about what went down.


As yes they were juicy and arguably a refreshing way for UK singles to spend a hot summer's day, in the most productive yet fun way possible.


The event took place at,
Rocket Padel, which has a number of branches dotted across London stemming from: Battersea Power Station, to Illford, Brockton and more. 


With the main aim of the event serving as a fun activity based version of
speed dating, rackets were swinging and fun was being had (and maybe a sprinkle of love was in the air too) who knows. 


With there being a number of rotating matches between guests it helped break the ice, provide a zero pressure environment and allow guests to chat and mingle with a number of different attendees on the day. 


With so many successful events, based right here in London may I add, under our belts thus far, you may be wondering why we go so hard when it comes to
activity based dating… so let me tell you why. 




Benefits of event based dating: 


One of Evntful's main missions is to ensure that singles, ‘Swipe left on traditional dating’ and ‘Move beyond the same old drinks dates to activities that let you shine as your true self’.


With reports stating that
57% of respondents would rather ditch dating apps to meet their partner in person - it highlights how there has been a shift in dating styles in recent years, especially amongst groups like Gen Z and Millennials. 


With attracting not just good looks but meaningful connections too, it’s only right that we give the singles what they want,  and provide a platform where singles can go for drinks if they wish or they could trade in their heels and opt for a game of Padel instead. 


As living and experiencing in the real world is very much giving green flag - as really and truly what’s not to love! 


With 33% of singles
thinking they’ll meet their someone special at activities like dance classes and painting workshops - this is why we do what we do here at Evntful, as we want you to have the best chances at finding love whilst doing the things you love. 


Given the fact that
first dates that involve something active are 25% more likely to lead to a second date than meet-ups at bars, restaurants, or coffee shops - it looks like we might actually be onto something.

The ones who make the event extra special


First and foremost we have to give a BIG shoutout to Rocket Padel, who allowed us to use their amazing grounds to host our event.


Secondly when it comes to goodie bags we certainly lead from the front when it comes to including the things that you want but didn’t realise that you needed. 


We make strives to partner with not just game changers within the industry but small businesses too; as this is something that we pride ourselves on here at Evntful! 


If you were unable to get your hands on one of our goodie bags then let me tell  you what familiar names you could have found amongst the goodies.


Plenish 

Biomel 

D Rum Punch 

The Egalitarian 

Freja
