About this event

About speed dating
Our speed dating evenings are great fun. For best results we recommend you come along with an open mind and don't take it too seriously. You'll have a great time, you'll meet lots of single people and you might meet someone special.

What happens at an event
When you arrive, you will find a friendly Host in a SpeedDater T-shirt. Your Host will register you for the event and give you a scorecard, a name badge and a pencil. You are then invited to join other guests at the bar to chat before the event starts and have a drink if you'd like to buy one. Once everyone has arrived the SpeedDater Host will explain how speed dating works and answer any questions.

Then the dating begins. Usually women will stay seated while men will rotate every 3-4 minutes when the bell rings. After each date participants mark on a scorecard whether they would like to see that person again. At the end of the evening many people stay around to chat to the people they've just met.

After the event
At the end of the evening everyone takes their scorecards home with them to enter their ticks online on our website. And after the event you can contact anyone you meet through our secure website. All our events are guaranteed! If you don't meet at least one person you'd like to see again your next event is free.

"I think Speed dating works so well because you just know after a 3 minute conversation with someone if you're going to click or not." Kathy, Tiger Tiger, London (May 2005)
"Where else can I meet 20 single women in one night. "Matt, London, 2005
