Best Events for Swindon’s Singletons

Although the holidays are behind us, the winter drags on. This time of year there is nothing better than getting out and about before cuddling up for a cosy night in.

However, for those of us who are single, this can actually be the hardest time to meet someone new. It does not help the matter when in the modern age; so much of dating is done online. It can be an awkward process of sifting through fake profiles, unsolicited pics, and no-hopers. Whereas, when we meet people face to face it allows for that instant attraction- those butterflies that we have yet to replicate in a virtual scenario.

Whether you are looking to get out and meet your future or just looking for great local events that you can do solo, check out what’s going on around the city.

Speed Dating at the Wyvern Theatre

Valentine’s Day is a holiday that is just not very good when you are single. If a night in front of the TV and a bubble bath is not quite what you are looking for, head on down to the Wyvern Theatre for some speed dating. This speed dating event will match up singletons, who have a quick time to chat before moving onto the next one. What’s the worst that could happen? At best, you meet the love of your life, at worst; you chat with some new people and have some great stories to share with your friends.

Jimmy Carr- The Terribly Funny Tour

One of the UK’s favourite comedians is doing his tour around the country, and he will be on stage at the Oasis Leisure Centre later this month. This is the perfect night out for singles; as you will be too busy listening to Jimmy to chat with a companion anyway. Plus, you will be able to snort and chuckle to your heart's content. Be warned, this is an adults-only event and not for the politically correct or easily offended.

Mackenzie’s Bar

Mackenzie’s Bar often hosts singles nights, with several events being planned over the next couple of months. These single nights are often separated by age, for example, ages 36-55 or ages 20s and 30s. Providing the opportunity to meet up with likeminded individuals and potentially make new friends, this could be a great way to get out and meet someone special.

Comedy at the Casino

We have often discussed whether we need a brick-and-mortar casino in Swindon, but at the moment we have to travel. If you fancy a getaway away from it all, why not treat yourself to your hotel and enjoy a night of hilarity and gambling at Grosvenor’s Comedy at the Casino Night. Alternately, enjoy the live casino experience from the comfort of your own home. Simply opt for one of the websites that offer 10 pounds free no deposit bonuses and you can even play for free. Plus, no one will judge you on your pyjamas!

Sq 1 Singles Club

The Swindon Sq 1 Singles Club organises a great array of events and meetups for those aged over forty-five. Whether it is a nature trek, a get-together at the pub, or fun and recreation, this is a great way to meet local singles in your area. Plus the variety of events on offer means that there is certainly something for everyone.

Sun Records Concert

From the record label that gave us Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee Lewis, the Sun Records concert promises an evening of fun and entertainment to all who attend. If you are a rock and roll fan, this may just be an excellent opportunity to meet a likeminded rockabilly fan. Even if you don’t meet the next big thing, attendance at this event promises to be a swinging good time.

With so much going on, being alone and single will soon be a thing of the past. Even if you do not find the love of your life, there is always the chance to meet new friends and just have a good time getting to know people. Check out Swindon events and stay up to date with everything that is going on in your area.
