What is the schedule?

The event will last approx two and a half hours. 7pm registration. 7.15pm (sharp) introduction and start. 10 minute break in the middle, then the second half, wrapping up around 9.30pm, raffle results and off for drink together across the road.

How will it work?

When you arrive you will be greeted and can order a complimentary drink. When everyone has arrived, you will be asked to sit down at an assigned seat and there will be a date book for each person. Everything will be explained on the night but in brief, each date will last 3 minutes and there will be 20 women in total with a sequence so you get to meet everyone. There will also be “icebreaker” cards with questions placed between you to help you learn more about each other and keep the conversation fun and interesting.

How do we match?

Within 24hrs of the speed dating event you will receive a text with the names and phone numbers of the women you have matched with. Once you match, you are encouraged to make contact and meet in person again as soon as possible. Strike while the iron is hot! There will also be a friendship option for those who don’t get a heart match, it is still a chance to match and you can meet up again as friends.

Will I be asked to prove my age?

No, this particular evening is targeted at 30-45 year olds but if you are a few years younger, or older, you are welcome to attend.

Etiquette?

Participants are asked to arrive on time, stay for the entire duration of the event and take part in each speed date. Be kind, be respectful and keep the conversation lighthearted. For the duration of the event, phones should be on silent and put away so you can enjoy a fully social, immersive experience.

Attending with a friend?

You can attend on your own and will be made to feel very welcome but if you want to attend with a friend, and that friend is LGBTQ+ or non-binary, into women, single and ready to mingle, then sure!
