  Your organiser is talented, the venue was superb and everything was run well. But don’t make the most sensitive person there your benchmark for complaints. It dials back resilience.

  Although the process was good and I tried to enjoy myself, the fact that the men seemed quite old put me off a bit. The event was meant for people between 30-45 but there were people over 50 there so it makes it difficult really. It was my second time trying this out so I will keep trying. Thank you very much.

  The atmosphere was good. I wish they gave us the bartender downstairs so we didn’t need to keep going up. There were a ton more guys than girls, it would have been cool if it were more even but I know you can’t control that

  James was good although you should let him participate in an event so he knows how it works. I think a yes and a friend should be told about each other not just 2 yes's. I think there should be a bit of free time in-between for note taking. You can't make notes during its too short

  Comfortable and spacious venue where every conversation could be heard and every date had privacy. Great hosting but having to stand outside for ages rather than being led in wasn't ideal.

  Thought the interval could have been longer also maybe 5-6 minutes rather than 4 as it’s so quick. Had a good evening, Nice venue and relaxed atmosphere 👍

HOW IT WORKS

The beauty of Speed Dating Ipswich 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 Ipswich 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 Ipswich 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.

 

And that's it. Simple? Yes. Fun? Most definitely. Great way to meet your perfect match? Without a doubt so book an event now and find out why the dating craze that started a decade ago is still going strong.
