Are you single in Somerset and tired of endless swiping? Do you seek the chemistry of meeting someone face-to-face? We have exciting news. Original Dating, the UK’s favourite speed dating company, has officially launched in Bath!
If you’ve been searching for speed dating in Bath or unique singles events in Somerset, your wait is over. We are bringing our 15+ years of matchmaking experience to one of the most romantic cities in the UK.
Why Bath? Why Now?
Bath is a stunning city with nearly 100,000 residents, yet meeting like-minded singles can still feel like finding a needle in a haystack. While the city boasts incredible culture spas, theatres, and museums, the dating scene needed a shake-up.
We’re here to change that. We are ditching the screens and bringing back the art of conversation.
What to Expect at Our Bath Speed Dating Events
Forget awkward silence and high-pressure blind dates. Our events are designed to be fun, fast-paced, and flirtatious.
- The Venue: We’ve partnered with The Bootlegger, one of Bath’s coolest spots. It’s the perfect relaxed environment to enjoy a drink and meet new people.
- The Format: You will meet up to 20 dates in one night! Each date lasts just 4 minutes—long enough to know if there’s a spark, but short enough that you’re never stuck in a dull conversation.
- The Crowd: We run events for various age groups, including 30-45 and 40-55, ensuring you meet people at a similar stage of life.
The "Original Dating" Difference
We aren’t just another events company. We’ve been London’s leader in speed dating since 2003 and are proud to be responsible for the first-ever speed dating marriage in the UK (and countless since!).
Our Guarantee: We are so confident you’ll meet someone you want to see again that we offer a guarantee. If you don’t meet anyone you like, your next event is completely FREE.
How It Works
- Book Your Ticket: Head to our Bath Events Page to secure your spot.
- Meet & Mingle: Arrive at The Bootlegger, grab a drink, and get ready for a series of 4-minute dates. There's plenty of time before, during the interval, and after the event to mingle further.
- Match Online: The next day, simply log in to our bespoke matching system. Tick "Yes," "No," or "Friend" for the people you met.
- Connect: If the feeling is mutual, you’ll be matched! You can then message each other through our secure platform to arrange a proper second date.
