If you’re single and tired of swiping, you’re not alone. More people are turning to in-real-life singles events in Edinburgh as a way to meet others – not just for dating (which can bring a little pressure), but for friendship, conversation, and community feels.
The good news? Single adults make up around 45% of the population in Edinburgh – in actual numbers that’s well over 180,000 people.
The bad news? These people will be to find unless you put yourself out there and get yourself to an event or two – especially as people are deleting their dating apps and opting for in-person events nowadays.
Pick the best singles events in Edinburgh for you
Firstly, there are lots different types of dating related events out there for Edinburgh singles, and they’re not all for everyone.
You’ve got your:
- love-them-or-hate-them speed dating events (not our vibe)
- theme, interest or activity-based events
- singles party nights (which can feel a little loud overwhelming)
- age-specific meetups
- and the ones with enough forced fun to make you shrivel up inside yourself
Our events hit different, and they’re exclusively for Edinburgh singles aged 35 and over who want to truly embrace single life.
If this is you then read on…

What are our singles events like in Edinburgh?
We’re done with people telling us how hard it can be to meet single people in Edinburgh. Many hours wasted scrolling through Bumble, relentless time wasting, constant catfishing, and a slight fear of stepping out of your comfort zone to meet people in real life.
That changes today.
Like with any event, whether a music concert, play, or a family party, you get out what you put in.
At The Social Club for Singles we make it so easy for you to get the most out of your experience. We do this by creating an environment that feels safe, friendly, and approachable.
Here’s what to expect from our social events:
- the most relaxed style of dating in Edinburgh
- quality over quantity (we cap numbers at 40)
- a friendly and approachable crowd
- both age-range and mixed-age events
- chat with people at your own pace
- no awkwardness or forced fun
- post-event Connect & Chat service
- our fab hosts are there to welcome you and make introductions
How does that sound?
