About the event

Original Dating is excited to bring our speed dating nights to Cheltenham, a relaxed, sociable way to meet new people, make genuine connections, and enjoy a great night out.

During the evening, you’ll take part in a series of easy‑going four‑minute mini dates, meeting around 15–20 other singles. It’s the perfect amount of time to see if there’s a spark and decide whether you’d like to continue the conversation after the event.

Once the night wraps up, our secure online matching system lets you select who you’d like to see again. If there’s a mutual match, we’ll connect you so you can plan that all‑important next date.

You can expect a welcoming atmosphere, a friendly mix of guests, and a professionally hosted event designed to make meeting new people feel natural, fun, and completely pressure‑free.

Come for the experience. Stay for the connections. You never know who you’ll meet.

  having fewer people meant there was more time to get to know each person, it was less stressful

  It would have been nice if there were more attendees, but I understand some people flaked out on this event. Sadly, I didn't meet anyone I liked on that level, but it's not a fault of the event.

ORIGINAL DATING IN THE PRESS

HOW IT WORKS

The beauty of Speed Dating London 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 London 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 a girl.

Meet & Mingle

A London 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 for speed dating London. 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.
