About the event

Welcome to the ultimate offline dating experience!

We are excited to announce the new launch of our famous lock and key parties in Sheffield this September at one of the city's top venues, Manahatta!

Join us for an exciting evening of offline dating, giving you the opportunity to meet local singles and potentially find someone special this season...
Up to 80 people will join us for this new singles night which features our fantastic lock & key icebreaker to ensure you meet a huge number of people.

The best bit? Everyone is single, a similar age and we ensure there's a good male/female ratio in the room.
There will also be prizes to be won as you seek out the person holding the key that matches your lock (or vice versa).
Each time you find a matching pair you'll be in with a chance to win one of our great prizes. And of course, you'll meet loads of people along the way, all in the stunning surroundings of Manahatta, one of the city's top hotspots!

Following the party... head over to our website the next day to view a list of everyone that attended. Select the people you like and our system will tell you who you mutually matched with. Get in touch again via our messenger and the rest is up to you.
This party is the perfect place to meet people this Autumn. You just need your ticket...

  First time to try this out. I thought the lock & key idea was nice. It would have been good to have more ice breakers and maybe games. Good first experience

  I liked that you could talk to anyone randomly unlike speed dating which is exhausting. I’d like to do another but for an older age group.

  Was a very nice night out! "Lock and key" was a great way to chat to everyone although would appreciate more structure to it. Met a lot of interesting people!

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.
