Networking Events in Newcastle

Merge Dating is having another Newcastle Singles walk! This time we’ll kick things off with check-in at the front of Carrington Bowling Club, before heading off on a relaxed, social walk along sealed footpaths. The walk is around 4 km, taking approximately 60–90 minutes at an easy, social pace. We’ll follow a scenic waterfront loop through Carrington and Maryville, with river views and a few light icebreaker moments along the way. Once we finish, you’re welcome to hang around nearby for a drink if you like — optional and not part of the event. Everyone’s single and here to meet someone real. Not speed dating — just a chilled morning stroll with singles – outside the bar setting! Mini icebreaker stops + light group rotations. Friendly hosts to keep things moving and help with intros. Suitable for all ages – we are selling tickets for over 35 and under 35 so we can manage the ratios! Free bottled water provided.
