SINGLE in the City is stepping off the pages of the Echo and coming to a bar near you!

We have teamed up with Dockgate 4 bar and grill to bring you an exclusive monthly singles night with a difference, especially for Single in the City readers.

The Single in the City night launches with a party on Thursday, September 25, in the piano bar at the prestigious Southampton venue.

Every party-goer will receive a free cocktail when they present a voucher printed in Single in the City – keep an eye on the section to get your voucher!

There will also be complimentary canapés, live music from X Factor girl group Afrodisiac, a DJ playing party tunes and drinks promotions all night.

Entry to the party, which starts at 8pm, is free.

Following the launch, monthly events will be held at Dockgate 4. These will feature a special women-only “girls’ night out” section of the evening, where you will have the chance to learn everything from how to move with confidence to how to mix a cocktail. October’s event will feature a burlesque lesson from experts Polestars.

After the women have had their fun, men will be invited to join them to make friends and possibly find “the one”.
