We're looking for warm, reliable people to host small evening gatherings. You don't need to be an entertainer. You need a sofa, a welcome, and a couple of hours.
The deal
An Evening-In is a structured gathering for 4-8 guests, matched by PLY, in your home. Every evening follows one of our formats, and you get a simple guide that tells you exactly how to run it. And yes, hosting is paid: you earn for every guest who attends, paid automatically after the event. We'll talk you through the details on your screening call.
The night
Becoming a host
Fill in the application. It takes about ten minutes and covers you, your home and your availability.
A member of the PLY team reads every application personally.
A friendly 10-minute screening call. No interview nerves required, we just want to meet you.
You get your format, your materials, your date and your guide. Then it's Saturday.
Questions
No. The format does the heavy lifting and the guide walks you through every step, from the icebreaker to the closing moment. If you're warm and reliable, you're qualified.
Likeminded people matched by PLY's personality quiz, who've booked through the app. Everyone agrees to our Guest Code of Conduct before they attend, and we collect allergy information at booking.
Yes. Guests only receive your address at midday on the day of the event, through the PLY app. We use your postcode during screening purely to assess location, and it's never shared.
All comms run through the PLY platform, never personal numbers. Evenings usually end by 9pm. Every guest completes a safety check-in after the night, and we review anything that doesn't look right immediately. You can also flag anything to us at any point.
You provide soft drinks and snacks. Guests may bring a bottle if they like, but evenings are kept moderate, that's part of what makes the format work.
You're paid for every guest who attends, automatically, within days of the event. We'll talk through the exact numbers on your screening call.
A few bags of crisps, some chocolate (no nuts) and soft drinks. Everything else, including all format materials, comes from us.
A handful of hosts, a run of evenings, and the chance to shape something new from night one.
