Why should I join Date in the Diary?
We don’t think technology should choose you a potential match, or that you should waste your time and money going on an uneasy date with someone you only know from a photo. We connect like-minded single people organically by providing a friendly, fun and relaxed environment that allows you to slowly gain acquaintances, friends and maybe even a romantic partner over shared experiences.
Are you a dating company?
Nope, we’re a social group for singles. We are all about connecting people that have gone through a divorce or break up or, may be widowed or even just single for a while. We provide social events and experiences that bring people in the same situation together. What better way to connect than experiencing something you love? Aleady there are many friendships that have been formed BUT there have also been many dates from people that have met through Date in the Diary. We hope you’ll meet someone you might like to go on a date with, but you’ll definately meet new friends and networks – and, most importantly, enjoy single life and have some fun. There are no algorithms or profile pics; just real people to talk to.
Do I have to pay any membership or joining fees?
In order to keep our group exclusive and make sure you meet people like you – we charge a joining fee, which gives you access to our diary of events. You then just pay for the events you’d like to come to. You are welcome to come and try one of our events as a ‘guest’ before you join. Call one of our team and they’ll chat you through everything.

How much are the events?

Are you selective in who becomes members?
A little bit! We aren’t right for everyone but equally we are an open and inclusive organisation. 90% of our members are recommendations from existing members (we encourage all members to network their own social groups for more ‘like minded’ singles) which is working really well! It keeps the right people coming through the door! But as long as you are single, divorced or separated for a start, then chat with us and we can discuss everything with you.
How do I book onto one of your events?
Fill in the JOIN US form and one of our team will call you for a (quick!) chat. They’ll tell you all about Date in the Diary, the two memberships we offer, what events have availability and any coming up that they think you'd enjoy. Once you decide which membership is right for you, you can pay the fee over the phone or online. Once you’re a member, we’ll be in touch regularly with lots of varied and exciting events but also keep an eye on social media and our DIARY. You can just book onto as many events as you want.
Can I bring a friend along to one of the events?
They’re just for single, separated, divorced or widowed people. We don’t check this, we trust what our members tell us but single friends are most welcome as your guest – networking your own social circles and bringing other singles along really helps us grow and is the secret to our success!
Is Date in the Diary on Facebook and Instagram?
Yes. Please follow us on Facebook and Instagram and share with your single friends. We’ll share photos and details of all of our events here, along with some other exciting info about living your best single life.
Will there be equal numbers of men and women at your events?
That’s our aim!
Will everyone on your events be of a similar age to me?
Our members are aged between 35-60 years old (at the moment we are not taking on new members outside of these ages but will do in 2023). As a social member, it’s not a cast-iron guarantee but we do try as much as we can to put similar age groups together. It depends on the event and level of interest.
What if my circumstances change and I’m not single anymore?
You can put your membership on hold – or leave us completely and we’ll remove your details from our database. just give us a call.
Where are your events located?
Berks/Bucks focusing on Marlow, Henley on Thames, Beaconsfield, Windsor and surrounding areas. But we are growing and heading into West London and Surrey! The more members who join in other areas, the faster we can hold events in those areas!
