Speed Dating in Manchester | Ages 30-45

Original Dating is thrilled to bring our signature speed‑dating experience to Manchester.

Over the course of the evening, you’ll meet around 15 - 20 new people in a series of four-minute mini dates, just long enough to sense whether there’s a spark worth pursuing.

After the event, simply log into our private matching system to see who you’ve connected with and arrange that all important follow‑up date.

Our events always draw a fun, friendly crowd, and we’d love for you to be part of it.

Important information

- Doors open 7.00pm

- Event starts 7.30pm

- Speed dating finishes approximately 9.30pm

- Venue closes 11pm

It’s essential that you arrive before 7.25pm in order to take part. We might not be able to allow entry if you are late.

How it works

When you arrive at the venue you’ll meet our friendly hosts. We’ll briefly explain the format of the event and you’ll be straight into your first date.

You’ll have 4 minutes to meet and briefly get to know each person. We’ve found that 4 minutes is just long enough to find out if you'd like to see someone again but not too long if you don't.

Girls stay at the same table throughout the evening and guys move around the room.

After meeting each person, you need to decide if they are a ‘yes’ a ‘no’ or a ‘friend’ and jot down any notes to help you remember them. You'll find out who you matched with the next day and you can message your matches via our app or website.

We'll have a short break halfway through for you to top up your drinks.

After the event

The speed dating is over when you’ve met everybody, but this is often when the fun really starts. Most people stay at the bar for a drink and get to know the people they liked a little better.
