About the event

*** THIS TICKET INCLUDES A PRE-PARTY SPEED DATING EVENT PLUS CHEMISTRY PARTY ENTRY ***

PARTY-ONLY TICKETS ARE ALSO AVAILABLE FOR £25

ABOUT THE PRE-PARTY SPEED DATING

Up to 80 people are expected to join us for the main party, but time after time we’re asked to incorporate speed dating into the night and this time we’re doing just that. This ticket includes all the potential that a 80+ person mixer party brings but with it an added hour-long speed dating event before the main party starts. Please note, party-only tickets are also available.

Party tickets with speed dating are strictly limited. You’ll arrive at the venue ahead of the main start time. We’ll whisk you around 15 or so seated 4-minute dates to break the ice, face to face.

As the speed dating ends, you’ll seamlessly join the main party, but of course, you’ll have had a head start, and who knows, you may have already met someone you want to get to know much better.

ABOUT THE CHEMISTRY PARTY

Due to popular demand we bring you Chemistry, the new event format for people who are serious about dating and interested in meeting someone special. Hosted in the classy surrounds of The Arber Garden, we think you'll be impressed.

This party is all about meeting new people so we've devised a fun and eye-opening icebreaker designed to push past the checklist questions to go deeper in order to spark that all important chemistry. It's a lot of fun and works fantastically.

Spaces will be limited to 80 guests with an even male to female ratio attending. Reserve your space now to ensure you are one of them!

  Great event! Enjoyed icebreaker game; fab idea ! Shane boat wasn’t bigger & more room for a boogie & maybe some disco lights to make more party vibes. Also couldn’t hear music on outside of boat. Hosts were amazing & definitely do again next year !

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.
