My name is Sophie. I have always wanted to be Cilla Black! In my spare time I like to go to see improv shows and sometimes have a go myself!
Speed Dating on the Spectrum
We are hosting an extra special night of dating for people with learning disabilities. Meet like-minded singles face-to-face at our Neurodivergent straight speed dating event at The Alchemist. This event is specifically for people with learning difficulties and disabilities to connect with others who share similar experiences and interests, in the hopes of finding love and companionship.

Here at SpeedDater we know that chemistry only happens in person, so our events are perfect for singles that want to make real life connections.

During the event, you will be going on between 6 and 10 mini dates lasting about 5-6 minutes each. Our professional hosts and well-organised events make meeting people easy and lots of fun. Come with a smile and an open mind, you never know who you could meet at one of our events.

What to Expect: Mix, Match, Date
When you arrive, our lovely SpeedDater host will welcome you and sign you in. You will be given a badge number that will match a table in the room and half of the daters will stay seated while the other half rotate from table to table until everyone has dated each other. To help you remember all participants you will have a card to mark down all individuals that you like. You'll also have breaks for drinks and chit-chat.

And after the event?
The day after your speed dating event you can log in to our secure website and click the 'matches' tab. You will find out who you mutually matched with and can get in touch again via our messaging system. Don’t forget about SpeedDater’s guarantee - if you didn’t meet someone you liked the first time your next singles event is free! What have you got to lose?

Please note this event is inclusive of people with learning difficulties as well as learning disabilities. This includes dyslexia, attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), dyspraxia and dyscalculia. As well as learning disabilities : Autism, Asperger Syndrome. Cerebral palsy, Challenging behaviour, Tourette’s Syndrome, Down syndrome, Fragile X syndrome, Global developmental delay, SYNGAP1, Prader-Willi Syndrome, Rett Syndrome and Williams syndrome.
