About Dates-n-Mates Aberdeen
We facilitate social events and opportunities throughout Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire and sometimes in Angus/Moray area. Our events vary each month, based on member preferences and ideas... typically they might include pub nights, bowling, trips to the museum, dating events and parties. We also offer interactive workshops including anti-stress and confidence sessions created and delivered by our Director.
We launched in 2015.
