About the event
Original Dating is thrilled to bring our speed dating events to Reading — a fun, relaxed way to meet new people, spark genuine connections, and enjoy an unforgettable night out.
You’ll meet around 15–20 other singles through a series of easy-going four‑minute dates — just long enough to sense a spark, share a smile, and decide whether you’d like to get to know someone better.
Afterwards, our private online matching system lets you choose who you’d like to see again. If the interest is mutual, our system will connect you so you can arrange that all‑important next date.
Expect a warm, sociable atmosphere, a great mix of guests, and a professionally hosted evening 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 might meet.
