The Biggest Games Night of the Year

The Nikkah Network are hosting The Biggest Games Night of the Year at The Executive Lounge on Saturday 19 December, from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm. It's an afternoon for single Muslims to meet in a relaxed, interactive setting, and they describe it as an alternative to awkward speed dating or formal introductions.

The whole thing is built around meeting like-minded Muslim singles in a space guided by Islamic values and respectful interactions. Instead of sitting across a table and running through a list of questions, you'll find bowling, pool, snooker and PlayStation on the go, so you can chat while you play. It's an in-person event, and you'll need to bring valid photographic identification with you.

If you're tired of the usual ways of meeting people, this is a different approach. The games give you something to do and talk about, which takes the pressure off and lets things happen more naturally. It's a Saturday afternoon in the city, so it's an easy one to fit in without committing your whole weekend.

The Executive Lounge is at the Best Entertainment Centre, 18 Bordesley Street, Birmingham B5 5PJ. Tickets are £33, and the session runs from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm on Saturday 19 December.
