Valentine’s Day is fast approaching, and while the city gears up for candle-lit dinners and cliché red roses, Puttshack has other ideas. Enter The FriendZone x Puttshack, a fun-filled night on February 13th designed to smash the loneliness blues and put friendship at the forefront. Forget awkward romantic dates—this is the event to celebrate platonic connections, playful competition, and new friendships over a lively round of high-tech mini golf.
Breaking Up With Valentine’s Day Clichés
Why settle for a cringy couples’ dinner when you could spend your evening bonding over Beer Pong and a Prize Wheel? The FriendZone, a social movement tackling loneliness head-on, has joined forces with Puttshack for a vibrant, inclusive event at its White City location. Think colourful mini golf courses, quirky challenges, and good vibes only. It’s perfect whether you’re looking to make new mates or simply dodge the usual Valentine’s tropes.
With loneliness hitting Londoners harder than the rest of the UK, The FriendZone x Puttshack couldn’t have come at a better time. The evening kicks off with a complimentary round of mini golf and a limited-edition cocktail aptly named The Ice Breaker. Because, let’s face it, who doesn’t bond over a ridiculous shot that spirals into a water hazard?
High-Tech Mini Golf Meets Friendship Goals
Puttshack’s famous for its innovative gameplay, and this event pulls out all the stops. The high-tech courses combine automatic points, live leaderboards, and performance tracking—because why not make making friends a little competitive? From Shuffle Up to Ring of Fire, each hole is a chance to show off your skills or laugh at your epic fails.
If you’re the shy type, don’t worry. The FriendZone has worked with neurodiversity consultant Charlotte Marian Pearson to ensure inclusivity for everyone. So, whether you’re navigating social anxiety, neurodivergence, or just a bit nervous about striking up conversations, this event has you covered.
A Cocktail That Says, “Let’s Be Mates”
The limited-edition Ice Breaker cocktail sets the tone for the night. Crafted for this event, it’s the perfect excuse to raise a glass (or two) with your new mini golf buddy. You’ll be mingling and sharing stories before the first sip’s even finished.
Laura Duffy, Marketing & Sales Director at Puttshack, summed it up perfectly: “Our colourful, fun-filled courses are the perfect setting to encourage Londoners to shed their inhibitions and chat to strangers.” Translation: expect to leave with a smile, a scorecard, and maybe a new best mate.
Founder’s Take: Friendship Over Loneliness
Asia Diaz, the mastermind behind The FriendZone, knows that Valentine’s can be a tricky time for many. “Feelings of loneliness can be amplified during this season, so we wanted to create an evening where people can connect in a vibrant environment.” And with Puttshack’s playful vibe, the night promises to be anything but lonely.
