Where to meet singles
Not every first meeting starts online. These are real places and groups where people get talking.
Run or walk a Saturday parkrun
parkrun is free, 5 km and open to all, and events such as Alberts Farm, Delta Park, Wits and Roodepoort start at 08:00 on Saturdays. It is relaxed and community minded, so chatting to new people comes naturally.

Volunteer at parkrun
Volunteers are at the heart of every parkrun, and some people prefer helping out to running. Helping out each week is a simple way to get to know the regulars.

Go to a Kirstenbosch concert with friends
Kirstenbosch Summer Sunset Concerts run on Sundays from late November to late March, with gates opening at 16:00. Picnicking on the lawns with friends is a sociable way to meet new people.
