  It was a fun evening! I’d encourage anyone to try it out if you’re thinking about it. No matches this time (although the host, Joe was quite nice!), and I made friends with some of the girls so overall a good experience!

  The lady host was lovely, she spoke really loud & clear so we all knew what to do & commanded the room like a boss!! The venue was lovely & the bar staff. The only thing I found annoying was after the event I went to make my selections & 3 of the guys who attended hadnt filled in their profiles & one of them I really liked & couldnt remeber his name, damn!! So iv had to guess.

  What a brilliant evening! The Cambridge speed dating event was exceptionally well organised, with a great mix of people and a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Steph deserves a huge amount of credit for making the event such a success. She was warm, engaging, and incredibly professional, ensuring everyone felt at ease and had a great time. Her energy and enthusiasm really made the night special. Highly recommended for anyone looking to meet new people in a fun and pressure-free environment. I’ll definitely be attending again!

HOW IT WORKS

The beauty of Speed Dating Cambridge lies in its no-nonsense approach. You take an equal number of single girls and guys, put them in a room and give them a few minutes to chat with every other member of the opposite sex.

When you get there

Original speed dating events in Cambridge normally begin at 7.30pm. You will need to register with our hosts and to begin with they will issue you with a score sheet. This will help you to keep track of the singles that you would like to meet again and perhaps go on a date with. After a short period of mingling, your host for the evening who will run through detailed instructions and give you your starting position if you are a guy or table for the event if you are girl.

Meet & Mingle

A Cambridge speed dating event is split into two halves, each lasting around an hour, there will be an interval at half time of about 15 minutes. You will have between 4 and 5 minutes with each person, after which you need to tick a box on your score sheet - "yes, I would like to meet this person again" or "no. Thanks but no thanks". Or "friend" if you'd like to get to know them platonically. Make sure that you do this after each date to keep track. Afterwards there is an opportunity for everyone to meet and mingle informally - this is often where the real action begins, so make sure you don't disappear too quickly!

Complete your score sheet

After the event you simply tick who you liked on the Original Dating website and the site works about your matches automatically. If the dates you have ticked as a "yes" have reciprocated you have a match. You will be able to view the first names and message them via our site online without revealing your email address until you are ready to. You'll be having proper first dates in no time.
