About the event

Welcome to the ultimate offline dating experience!

We’re excited to get into the festive spirit with our famous Lock & Key Parties in Newcastle this winter — now taking place at one of the city’s most stylish venues, Banyan Newcastle!

Join us for an unforgettable evening of offline dating, giving you the chance to meet local singles and maybe even find someone special this season.

Up to 80 people will join us for this exciting singles night, featuring our fun Lock & Key icebreaker designed to help you meet a huge number of people in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

The best part? Everyone is single, within a similar age group, and we always ensure a great male/female ratio in the room.

There will also be prizes to be won as you search for the person holding the key that matches your lock (or vice versa). Each time you find a match, you’ll be entered into the prize draw — and, of course, you’ll meet plenty of amazing people along the way, all in the beautiful surroundings of Banyan Newcastle, one of the city’s most popular spots.

After the party, head over to our website the next day to see a list of everyone who attended. Select the people you liked, and our system will let you know who you matched with. From there, you can message your matches and take it from there!

This is the perfect place to meet new people and celebrate the season in style. You just need your ticket…

  I really liked the format of the evening - creating a profile beforehand, matching after & the lock & key idea is a great ice breaker. It was a great evening , everyone was very friendly & I had a fantastic time!

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.
