Summer & Sociability

Summer has a wonderful way of making people more sociable. We stay out later, accept invitations we'd normally decline, and find ourselves talking more openly to people we don’t know.

With that in mind, we're gathering at the beautiful Bar at 12 Hay Hill, one of Mayfair's most elegant private members' clubs, for an evening of relaxed introductions, excellent cocktails and a room full of interesting single people in their 40s and 50s.

Tucked away in the heart of Mayfair, 12 Hay Hill is one of those places that feels as though you've stumbled upon a secret. Having survived both a fire and the Blitz, it now offers warm lighting, gleaming marble, stylish interiors and a private terrace perfect for summer evenings.

On arrival, you'll be welcomed with a Tidal Rum cocktail. This is not the sort of rum that arrives in a novelty glass with a paper umbrella. It's a golden Caribbean blend, finished in Jersey with rare coastal botanicals gathered on full moon tides. Slightly smoky, quietly sophisticated and exceptional taste-wise.

If you've joined us before, you'll know the kind of vibrant atmosphere we achieve. Those joining us for the first time can expect a welcoming crowd, a beautiful setting and a room full of intelligent, cosmopolitan professionals who know how to enjoy a good conversation.

We always keep the numbers of men and women equal as it makes for a more relaxed atmosphere, better conversations and, frankly, better odds.

If single tickets are no longer available, it's worth checking whether a double ticket remains. Bring a wingman or woman of the opposite sex and make an evening of it together.

So here is the unbeatable combination: a private members' club, premium cocktails and an exceptional group of single people. Add the Maclynn and Rendezvous team into the mix, on hand throughout the evening to make introductions, keep the energy flowing and ensure everyone feels at home, and what’s the result?

All the ingredients for a memorable summer evening.
