# 30s & 40s Single's Mixer Event with Love at First Sign
If you're single, in your 30s or 40s, and looking to meet like-minded people in Manchester, Love at First Sign is hosting a dedicated mixer on Thursday 23 April 2026 that's worth your time. This free event brings together a curated group of singles in the same age bracket, taking the pressure out of traditional dating apps and creating a relaxed social atmosphere where genuine connections can happen. It's the perfect excuse to get out on a Thursday night without spending a fortune.
Slug and Lettuce in Manchester city centre is an ideal spot for this kind of event—it's buzzy but intimate enough to actually chat with people, with a proper bar atmosphere that encourages mingling. The venue's central location means it's accessible from anywhere in Greater Manchester, whether you're coming from Stockport, Salford, or further afield. You'll find the usual quality drinks and snacks available if you fancy something while you're there.
Head down from 7pm onwards and expect a friendly crowd of people in the same boat as you—no awkwardness, just straightforward socialising. There's no pressure to stay all night, so you can pop in for an hour or stick around longer if you're enjoying the vibe. Arriving early can actually help you settle in before things get busier.
