About this event

Enjoy Books? Bored of dating apps? Want a Free Cocktail? Join us for a Books & Cocktails Social at Nottingham’s hidden gem, (📍 Pepper Rocks) in a lively, safe and welcoming space. Flamingo Dating encourages people to meet each other in real life, under our wing (no pun intended) whether that's platonic or otherwise!

Bring a book you’ve read if you want — it’s just a fun conversation starter. No reading required, and you don’t need to be an avid reader to come to this event — just good chat, good vibes, and maybe a new chapter 👀 Perfect for book lovers and curious minds alike. Like a scene from a romantic novel… just with cocktails and better dialogue.

This is Not speed dating - just a low pressure social where you can mingle naturally. So far, multiple people have dated, exchanged numbers, made friends, had plenty of laughs and even some smooches!

Don’t miss out — book your spot now 🕑 Bring a friend, or come solo (most people do). You never know who you might meet ❤

Flamingo Dating has teamed up with the iconic venue Pepper Rocks to bring you this event! Held in a private section downstairs. They are giving a FREE Cocktail or soft drink to anyone who arrives before 7:30 pm.

Why You Should Attend… ✅

• Over 70% of our attendees come solo, so dont worry about bringing a friend if you're the only single in your friend group. Come solo!
• Book related prompts, fun games to play, and other activities in our events (Optional to partake).
• Friendly hosts present in case you need anything.

Why Dating Apps Suck ⚠️

• An uneven balance - 15% of users on dating apps in the UK are women, and 85% are men.
• You can’t read a person’s body language, facial expressions or tone of voice.
• Too much choice is bad, this can lead to decision overload, superficial judgement and ghosting.

Considerations & Guidance ❤

• Bring a book you like as a conversation starter (optional)
• Respect personal boundaries and space.
• Don’t assume romantic interest just because someone is talking to you.
• If you connect with someone, feel free to ask for their number and plan a date.
• Tickets are limited — we recommend booking in advance to secure your spot. Tickets are available on the door but subject to availability on the day.
• This event is for ages 21–32. Our events in general cover 20 - 60.
