50+ Singles Night

Love at First Sign is running a singles night for people aged 50 and over at Be At One in Reading on Thursday 19 November. It's a night aimed squarely at that age bracket, and the organisers bill it as the UK's most unique singles night — astrology-powered, lighthearted, and designed to get you talking to people you might otherwise miss.

The whole thing revolves around the Cosmic Fusion App, which they say helps you skip the small talk and explore compatibility on the fly. The idea is that you can see how you match up with other attendees without having to spend half the night working through the same few questions. If you hit a compatibility score of 85% or more with someone, you go into a 'Cosmic Dip' prize draw, so there's a bit of a game running alongside the chatting. The promoters frame it as unlike anything else happening in Reading for singles in that age group, and the astrology angle certainly sets it apart from your usual speed-dating setup.

It's a Thursday night, so it's a mid-week one rather than a weekend date. The evening starts at 19:00, and the icebreaker activities kick off from 19:30, which gives you a bit of time to settle in before things get moving. If you're not one for the first few minutes of a room full of strangers, arriving closer to the start might be the way to go.

Tickets start from £20.00 and go up to £44, depending on what you go for. You'll find it at Be At One Reading, 1-2 Gun St, Reading, RG1 2JR.
