A note from the hosts

You have built a life.
Now, someone to share it with.

By now you know what you want, and you have little patience for anything that wastes your evening. The apps were not made for you, and a friend's dinner party only goes so far.

So we are laying a single table for twenty. Every guest is single, forty-five or older, and has made something of their life. We read every application ourselves and seat the table with care.

Come as you are. Stay for the conversation.

— The Pearbae hosts

A long table set on the racecourse lawn, with place cards and a pear at every setting

The evening

One long table.
Twenty people worth meeting.

No name tags, no icebreakers, no swiping. A slow supper on the lawn, a considered guest list, and conversation that has somewhere to go. We seat the table ourselves so that everyone you meet has been chosen for the room.
