About Us
We run singles events for those fed up of dating apps. Events that are not speed dating but something much better, simply a laidback gathering of people in a no pressure, vibrant atmosphere such as bars and cafes. Our events have been a great success and we are looking to expand. Flamingo Dating encourages people to meet each other in real life, under our wing. Our events cover different groups ranging from 18 - 50. So far, multiple people have dated, exchanged numbers, made friends and had plenty of laughs.

Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
