Singles party for professionals aged 30-50 at the Penta Hotel, with introductions by friendly hosts and a True Dating account required beforehand.
True Dating are hosting a singles party for the 30-50 crowd at the Penta Hotel on Saturday 14 November, from 7:30pm to 10:30pm. They bill it as Reading's most popular singles party, and they pitch it as an alternative to endless app-swiping — aimed at busy professionals who'd rather meet real people face to face than spend their evenings scrolling. It's a night for the 30-50 age bracket, so you'll be in a room with people in your own general stage of life.
There are a few things they do to keep it from feeling like a free-for-all. They maintain an equal male-to-female ratio, and there are friendly hosts on hand throughout the evening to help with introductions, so you don't have to do all the heavy lifting yourself. Before the event, you set up a True Dating account; afterwards, anyone you'd like to see again can be selected, and if the feeling is mutual, you're matched and can take things further through the platform's private messaging. If you don't click with anyone, your next event is free.

It's a straightforward setup: you turn up, chat with people in person, and let the app handle the follow-up. The party runs from 7:30pm to 10:30pm, with doors opening at 7:30pm and last entry at 8pm, so it's worth arriving early if you want the full evening. Tickets are £11 to £16.50, and the venue is the Penta Hotel on Oxford Road, RG1 7RH.
