Register your interest below and we'll make sure you're first in line to hear about new events and special offers

Southend-on-sea is the largest town in Essex and it's no wonder it has the longest pier in the world.

Southend's pleasure pier stretches over a mile from shore. That's a pretty big claim to fame but here's another claim we think Southend should have...with over 180,000 Southenders it's about time Southend had the best in quality speed dating and there's only one company that can deliver just that, Original Dating. 

That's great, but who are you? 

Let us introduce ourselves, we're Original Dating and we run the best speed dating events in London and we're quickly growing across the UK. Original Dating is the leading singles/dating events organiser and we pride ourselves on delivering quality, well attended and fun events that are all about meeting people.

With Original Dating you're in safe hands, we've been organising quality dating events since 2003. We're even responsible for the UK's first ever wedding from two speed daters who met at one of our events back in 2004. We now welcome 15,000+ people to our events every year. 

How does speed dating work? 

It's simple. Speed dating is a lot of quick introductions lasting around 4 minutes which means you'll meet around 15-20 other singles in just one night. Four minutes is the perfect amount of time to decide you'd like to see someone again and not that long if you don't. Meeting new people has never been such fun, and there's plenty of time before, during and after to share a drink and a laugh. This is super social evening makes meeting people easy. 

What if I meet someone I like? 

Well that's where our bespoke matching system comes in. After you've met everyone, usually the following day you login to our website and select everyone as either a yes, a no or a friend.  By the end of the day we'll send you your matches. Then you can message one another and be organising your next date in no time.
