About the event

*BRAND NEW VENUE FOR 2024*

Get dating in 2024 off to the best start with our New Year Singles party this January!
The biggest and best party for Edinburgh singles to meet first in person.

Join up to 80+ people as we take over the stunning private bar at Cask Smugglers for this exciting night of offline fun.

This event features our fantastic lock & key icebreaker to ensure you meet a huge number of people. Everyone is single, a similar age and we ensure there's equal male/female ratio in the room.

There's prizes to be won as you seek out the person holding the key that matches your lock (or vice versa).

Each time you find a matching pair you'll be in with a chance to win one of our great prizes.

And of course, you'll meet loads of likeminded people along the way, all in comfort of this cool venue in the heart of Edinburgh.

Head to our website the following day to view a list of everyone that attended. Select the people you like and our system will tell you who you mutually matched with. Get in touch again via our messenger and the rest is up to you.

This party is the perfect place to meet people this January. You just need your ticket! Book now, this will sell out.

  I would have personally enjoyed more interaction from the hosts as I was expecting more than just the lock and key icebreakers, like a game or two. However I did enjoy my night for what is was.

  Had a great night and met some really nice people, a group of us went to an 80 night after the event and we danced the night away. Would definitely recommend it.

ORIGINAL DATING IN THE PRESS

HOW IT WORKS

The beauty of Speed Dating Edinburgh 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 Edinburgh 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

An Edinburgh 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.
