About the event

Here at Original Dating we know you're your best you when you're having fun and what better way to have fun than meeting new people of over a few games of beer pong.

We've teamed up with the digital beer pong experts at PONG to bring you this brand new mixer.

Never played beer pong before? unsure of the rules? No problem, with PONG's neon lit digital tables and pong experts, all you need to do is aim and throw.

Throw in a bit of competition, chatting (and some beer obvs) and what have you got - a fun night out meeting new people. This social experience is sure to liven up your week and you'll play at least two games.

We guarantee you'll play at least two games of PONG and the rest of the time you'll get to know with your fellow players or even suss out the competition.

The following day you'll have access to our online matching and messaging system where you can stay in touch with anyone you'd like to see again and set up that rematch for your next date.

All the games are included in your ticket price, all you need to do is book now!

  Great event, good way to meet new people, the lock and keys made great icebreakers, amazing venue right by the beach, summer vibes, music level a bit of a let down which made conversation tricky with it being so loud (not the fault of original dating) maybe with future events the music level could be adjusted in out vip/event area. (The music volume was fine on arrival, but boosted up very loud once event got started, just some honest feedback. Will be looking to go to future events, one of the best so far in the area, despite the noise :)

  The idea of the lock and key created a little bit of sexual tension as people sstated to play with the multitude of innuendos available, however done people would interrupt conversations just fir the game.

ORIGINAL DATING IN THE PRESS

HOW IT WORKS

Arrive from about 7pm and grab a drink — our host will check you in and hand you a scorecard. Once everyone's settled, the host explains the format and the dating begins: four to five minutes per date, girls seated, guys rotating, with a 15-minute breather at half time to top up your glass and compare notes.

After each date you make a quick private note: yes, no, or friend. Nobody sees your choices on the night — that's the point. When the formal dates finish, the room opens up and everyone mingles; ask any of our hosts and they'll tell you this is where half the real chemistry happens, so don't dash for the Tube.

The next morning, enter your ticks on our site and our matching system compares them against everyone else's. Mutual yeses become matches, and you can message each other through the site — no phone numbers or emails shared until you choose to.


When you get there

Doors open around 30 minutes before the start time on your ticket — arriving early gives you time to grab a drink, find your feet and say hello to your host, who'll check you in and get you set up. Everything you need is provided on the night; just bring your ticket confirmation and your best conversation.

First time? You won't be the only one — most people at any London event are speed dating first-timers, and plenty arrive solo. Our hosts have run hundreds of these nights and their whole job is making sure nobody feels lost. By your second date you'll have forgotten your nerves entirely.

Meet & Mingle

Why Londoners book with Original Dating

Original Dating was founded in London in 2003 by Andrew — back when speed dating was brand new and he was, in his words, just a boy. Twenty-three years later we're the capital's longest-established speed dating company and one of the largest in the UK, running around 500 events a year nationwide.

What that experience buys you: professional hosts (many of them trained actors) who actually run the room rather than reading a script; venues we've vetted personally; gender-balanced events with sensible age bands; a matching system we built ourselves; and a rematch guarantee we've

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.
