If you are new to dating and want to take your friends along with you to hold your hand, you need a ticket to a dating party!

Chemistry is by far the biggest dating party of them all, an opportunity for you to get involved in as many dating activities as you wish. It's enormous fun and people go back year after year.

Dinner In The Dark has received a lot of attention in the press over the last couple of months, however the events have been put on hold at the moment while the company behind it launches their new dating concept, Lock & Key Parties, at these events men have keys and girls have locks, a great opportunity to mingle in an unpressured environment!

Silent Dating is probably the wackiest of all the dating parties. Perhaps not the best way to meet Mr Right, but an interesting experience that you'll talk about for weeks to come!

The Single Solution run events in London 3 or 4 times a month and combine the best elements of speed dating and lock and key in one night.

Love In The Kitchen run dinner parties at the organisers flat in Brighton, but attract guests from far and wide. Well worth the trip for a great evening!

Twisted Martini run a huge sellection of events from circus skills (see our review) to off-roading and clay pigeon shooting

Don't forget you can read and post comments on all of these events in our forums
