Belper is one of the Midlands's most distinctive cities - and one of the most underrated places to be single. With a thriving social scene, a strong professional community, and multiple acclaimed educational institutes keeping the city feeling young and dynamic, there's no shortage of interesting people to meet. The challenge is finding the right setting to actually meet them.
That's where Unified Dating comes in. We run regular dating nights, drinks mixers, and dinner dating events at some of Belper's best-loved venues. Unlike dating apps, our events put you in a room with real people - filtered by age group and who you're hoping to meet - and give you the kind of face-to-face time that actually tells you whether there's a connection.
Events take place throughout the year, throughout the week at the end of each month. Each event is small enough to feel personal, and organised enough that you'll meet everyone in the room. After the event, you'll receive your mutual matches by email the same night.
Our Belper events are hosted at actual venues - bars, restaurants, and private dining rooms - not online. You'll meet your matches face to face, the way it used to work.
Every event is organised by age group and sexuality, so you'll always be in the right room. Whether you're 18–30, 28+, or over 50s - we have an event for you.
After each event you'll get the chance to mark you matches - you get to pick who you clicked with the most.
Dress code is smart casual. Arrive five to ten minutes before the start time so we can get everyone seated.
We also run events across the Midlands and the rest of the UK. Choose a nearby city below to see what's on.
