Inner Circle took over Raffles for a night filled with cocktails, music and flirting. Here’s what went down, and how to join the next sparkling singles soiree. 

Offline-focused dating app Inner Circle is well known for bringing single people together in fabulous, non-cringey ways. Their latest event at Raffles, the iconic Chelsea nightclub, was an unforgettable party complete with dazzling DJ sets, bold interiors, ice-cold drinks and a unique party atmosphere that had everyone raising the roof. 

Londoners went wild for it. And if you’re looking to meet someone without your phone in your hand, here’s 3 reasons you might want to give their parties a go too:

1. Only serious daters are on the guestlist 

Online dating is too easy, so people are quite happy to waste their (and your) time. But getting dressed up and actually meeting in real life? That takes a little more work. Plus, Inner Circle screens all new members to check they’re serious about their love lives. Grab a ticket if you want to veto time wasters. 

2. Hit refresh on your dating pool and check out London’s coolest venues at the same time

That’s what Inner Circle’s events are all about. You’ll never feel like you’re at a cringey singles party - just a great night out where everyone happens to be open to meeting someone new. So whether you come alone or bring all your single friends, knowing everyone around you is in the same boat will take your dating confidence up a level. 

3. The best is still yet to come

Taking over Raffles nightclub was just the beginning. Coming up you can expect classy wine tastings, raucous nights out, daring blind dates and day-long summer festivals across two iconic city locations. Details have just been released on the app, but tickets will sell out. Here’s how to make sure you don’t miss out:
