About the event
Original Dating is excited to bring our speed dating nights to Preston. A lively, laid‑back way to meet new people, spark real connections, and enjoy a memorable evening out.
Across a series of relaxed four‑minute mini‑dates, you’ll meet around 15 to 20 other singles. It’s just enough time to feel a spark, share a moment, and decide whether you’d like to continue the conversation beyond the event.
After the event, our secure online matching system lets you choose who you’d like to see again. When there’s a mutual match, we’ll put you in touch so you can plan that all‑important next date.
Expect a warm, friendly atmosphere, a great mix of guests, and a professionally hosted event designed to make meeting people feel natural, enjoyable, and completely stress‑free.
Come for the experience. Stay for the connections. You never know who you’ll meet.
