Speed dating events are an ideal way to meet lots of other singles in your area in one evening. Hugely popular for over a decade, speed dating events typically involve meeting up to 20 singles of the opposite sex in a series of short 3 minute dates.
Speed dating events are usually held in a bar, with a speed dating host from the speed dating company available to meet and greet all singles and ensure the night runs smoothly. Single women are usually sat at individual tables, and the single men move around to a different table for a one-on-one speed date every 3 minutes.
All guests can make a note of who they met that they would be interested in seeing again. After the speed dating event has finished, the organisers will put people in touch who have both liked each other.
