What it is

Think of it as a party.
With a purpose.

The purpose is to connect young creative people, build a community we are proud of, and create the kind of evening you go home from with a phone full of new contacts and a head full of new ideas. Dine with Delight is also the front door to DDE's broader creative ecosystem.

Built for creatives

Writers, designers, students, photographers, musicians, fashion designers, entrepreneurs. People making the work the community talks about.

A bigger room, a tighter door

Season One seated 50, with 81 more on the waitlist. Season Two opens about 150 seats, with a guest list and one wristband per name. Real food, real games, real conversation.

First step of a community

Dine with Delight is the beginning of a creative community DDE is building. It started with Season One, and Season Two comes to Abeokuta in December 2026.
