Events

The next one opens soon.

Dalloway gatherings are small, hosted evenings for people in their twenties and early thirties who’d like to meet someone. Every room has a job, so nobody has to perform. We don’t publish the formats or the dates; you find out when you’re in the room, which is rather the point.

London first. Applications cost 99p and open before each gathering. They’ll be announced here first.

What a Dalloway evening is like.

The room has a job.: A task, a part to play, a problem to share. A reason to talk that isn’t “so, what do you do?”, so you see how people are, not just how they come across.
Nobody sees anyone before the night.: No profiles, no photos, nothing to swipe. You meet people the old way: in the room.
A real human reads every application.: No algorithm, no score. Emma, our AI, helps with the admin. She never decides who gets in. A person does.
The room is balanced.: We sort out the numbers and the mix before anyone is invited. If an evening can’t be balanced, it doesn’t run.

While you wait, read what we’ve found. Field Notes The Index
