New Year Connections: Speed Dating 30s–40s at Still Hill Brewery

Start the new year off with something different—real connections.
Skip the endless swiping and meet local singles face-to-face before the holidays! If you’re ready to end the year on a high note, join us for an evening of easy conversation, genuine laughs, and maybe even a spark or two. Our events make meeting new people feel natural—no pressure, just great company.

Note on Age Range: While this event is primarily focused on singles in the age range specified in the title, this is only a suggestion—not a strict requirement. If you're slightly outside this range but feel you'd connect well with this group, you're welcome to join! Our goal is to create well-balanced events where everyone can meet compatible matches.

Casual Mixer Kickoff: Start the night with a relaxed mingle—grab a drink (not included, but encouraged) and ease into the evening before the dating rounds begin.

Guided Conversations: Not sure how to break the ice? We’ve got you covered with light conversation prompts each round, plus a friendly host to keep things moving.

Perfect-Length Connections: You’ll chat with each person for just the right amount of time to see if there’s a connection before rotating to someone new—all in a friendly, low-pressure setting.

Simple Matching System: After each round, mark “friend,” “date,” or “none.” Mutual matches get each other’s contact info the next day—simple as that!

⏰ Please arrive 15–30 minutes early to check in and get settled. Events begin promptly, and late arrivals may not be accommodated.
💡 Remember: Come with an open mind! While many attendees meet someone special, the best part of the night is connecting with new people and enjoying good conversation.
Space is limited to keep things balanced and comfortable. Save your spot early and step into the new year with fresh connections!
