About the event

FriendDating is coming to Manahatta Manchester, offering a fun, relaxed way to meet new people, grow your social circle, and make genuine new friends.

Throughout the evening, you'll enjoy a series of relaxed four-minute conversations with every other guest, regardless of gender. It's the perfect amount of time to discover shared interests, have a laugh, and see who you'd like to get to know better.

After the event, our secure online matching system lets you select the people you'd like to stay in touch with. If the feeling's mutual, we'll connect you so you can continue the conversation and hopefully build a great new friendship.

Expect a warm, welcoming atmosphere, a fantastic mix of guests, and a professionally hosted evening designed to make meeting new people feel easy, natural, and completely pressure-free.

Come along on your own or with friends, enjoy a great night out at Manahatta Manchester, and leave with the chance to make meaningful new connections. You never know who you might meet!
