THE ANTISWIPE X PADEL FOR SINGLES – BRISTOL (Ages 28+)
Game. Set. Match. IRL.
Bristol, we're coming for you. After a run of sold-out padel for singles events in London, The Antiswipe is bringing its most popular event to Rocket Padel Bristol for the very first time. It's one of the best activity-based singles events around, and a far better way to meet single people in Bristol than any dating app.
As the OGs of padel for singles, we know how to run a fun, pressure-free afternoon: friendly competition, even friendlier single people, and everyone actually ready to meet in real life. Get your ticket now.
