April is a women-run plus-one service for adults over 30. We accompany members to weddings, dinners, the theatre and work functions as genuinely good company — so you arrive with someone, and the evening is easier from the door.
Platonic. Arranged in advance. Always in public. Not a date, not an escort, not another app.
Women-run · Members only · Public venues · 30+
You bring the occasion. We bring someone who's easy to talk to, good in a room full of strangers, and gone by the agreed finish — no follow-up, no complication.
Going alone is fine, until it's the third hour and you've run out of people to talk to.
A dating app is the wrong tool for this. You're not after chemistry, a second date, or the small performance of being interested. You want one specific thing: someone who is good company on Saturday, fits the occasion, and whom you never have to think about again. That's the entire job April does — and it's the reason members keep a plus-one on hand the way they'd keep a good tailor or a trusted hairdresser.

You arrive with company; we've handled the rest.
April is run by women, and we've built it the way we'd want a service like this to work. Bookings happen in public venues, never private homes or hotel rooms. Members are 30 or over and verified before they join. Everything is platonic, and we're comfortable turning away anyone who'd prefer otherwise.
None of this is window-dressing — it's what lets both members and companions relax into the evening. Read how we work →
April runs as a membership rather than a booking app, and the difference matters. We meet people before we work with them, we keep numbers manageable, and we'd rather decline than take on someone who isn't a fit. It's what keeps the experience calm for everyone involved.
No — and we mean that plainly. April is platonic and strictly non-sexual. We provide good company at public events, nothing else, and we decline anyone looking for more.
Whatever you're comfortable with. Most members introduce their companion as a friend, and we take our cue from you. No one needs to know the arrangement.
Weddings, dinners, theatre and concerts, work receptions, parties and other public occasions across Bristol and the South West.
Entirely. We don't share member details, and discretion is the default in everything we do.
Membership is limited and we review every application ourselves. If it sounds like the right fit, introduce yourself.
