About this Event

Speed Dating Shropshire – Ages 55 - 65

A relaxed, friendly way to meet lots of single people in one night!

When you hear speed dating, it can sound a bit intense and maybe even a little daunting.

But the reality?

It’s just a room full of single people in the same position as you.

  • Some have been single a while.
  • Some are newly single.
  • Some haven’t dated in years.

Everyone is simply there to chat, meet new people, and see what happens.


What makes our events different?

We’ve been running these events for over a year and a half now, and we sell out almost every single time.

That means on the night, you can expect:

* Around 16–18 men and 16–18 ladies

This isn’t one of those events where you turn up, and the numbers are off. We carefully manage the balance so everyone gets the same experience.


What happens on the night?

When you arrive, you’ll check in and have a chance to settle in with a drink.

We start by giving everyone a time to chat casually in same-gender groups, so you can relax before the dating begins.

Then the evening is split into two halves:

* You’ll have 4 minutes per date

* With 1 minute in between to make notes

* You’ll meet everyone of the opposite sex

It’s just enough time to get a feel for someone without any pressure.


How do matches work?

At the end of the night, you simply hand in your card and let us know who you’d like to see again.

If they’ve chosen you too, we’ll send you both each other’s phone numbers the next day.

No awkwardness. No pressure. No asking for numbers on the spot.


Safety and atmosphere

We take safety seriously, so you can relax and enjoy the night.

* Discreet safety sentence available if you need support

* Our team are present and watching throughout the event

* We oversee the car park at the end of the evening

You’re in a safe, well-run environment from start to finish at lovely hotels and venues.


Why do people love it?

We now have over seventy 5 star reviews, and people consistently tell us the same thing:

They were nervous walking in and completely fine within minutes.

There’s something quite special about being in a room where everyone is single and open to conversation. That doesn’t happen very often anymore.

If you’ve been thinking about it then this is your sign to give it a go.
