Featuring our fantastic lock & key icebreaker and a totally equal male-to-female ratio you are sure to meet and speak to a huge number of people and have a fab night out. The best bit?

There are prizes to be won as you seek out the person with the key that matches your lock (or vice versa). Work the room, meet people, try your locks and key and when you find a matching pair you could be in for a prize. It's hilarious and a lot of fun. The fun doesn't stop here. Following the lock & key icebreaker, we'll be setting the mood with a live DJ and plenty of opportunities to dance the night away. Post-event, simply choose the people you liked and our matching system will tell you who you mutually matched with. Get in touch again via our messenger and the rest is up to you.
