Speed Dating in Manchester | Ages 30 to 45

You’re looking at joining Manchester’s most popular speed dating event—15 matches, a private venue, and an awesome host to keep the fun flowing.

As you make your way through Side Store and up the stairs past Side Bar, you’ll come to a door that opens into a secret space—a den of antiquity where music plays and people gather to make cool, casual connections in a super-chic setting. Inside, your It’s a Date host provides the social glue as you’re introduced to 30 single guests for a relaxed night of fun, friendly, and informal introductions.

Our host will be at the venue ready to welcome you from 19:30. Please arrive on time for registration, to grab a drink from the bar, and to receive a quick overview of how the evening will run. You’ll also be given an optional name sticker, a pen, and a note card to keep track of everyone you meet.

Ladies will be seated at tables that are comfortably spaced, discreetly numbered, and arranged in a relaxed area of the venue. Once speed dating begins, gents will join ladies for 5-minute dates. Your host will signal the end of each round, prompting gents to move to the next table in ascending order.

Between rotations, you’ll have a moment to jot down your impressions of the previous date and note whether you’d like to reconnect later. These cards are for your reference only.

Midway through the evening, your host will announce a 15-minute comfort break, giving you time to use the restroom, refresh your drink, or mingle with new connections. Dating will then resume for the second half of the event.

At the end of the evening, the bar will remain open for further socialising. Afterwards, you can log in to your dashboard to record feedback on your dates and see your matches.

If you have any questions about the event or how things will work, please contact James at 07517 065 492 or via email at [email protected].
