About the event

Welcome to our launch party for singles in Southend!

We are excited to be bringing our famous events back to the area this September, and to celebrate we're throwing the ultimate singles party at The Royal Hotel for an exciting evening of offline dating.

Up to 80 people will join us for this ultimate singles night which features our fantastic lock & key icebreaker to ensure the best chances of meeting a large 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.

Join us as we take over The Ballroom, a private function area, for an evening of fun games, delicious drinks and some flirting.

There's 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 this decadent night spot.

Following the party, head 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 September. You just need your ticket! Book now, this will sell out.

  It was relaxed and fun. My only complaint is that I didn't get to meet a lot of the ladies there so have had to put in 'No' to many who may have been matches (at least from my point of view!) That is probably my own fault for talking too much and monopolising one very interesting and lovely lady for quite a long time. I hope to meet her again.

  The event was great, well organised and I really enjoyed that we could just mingle without any restrictions. The venue was also lovely but the catering staff were a bit abrupt.

  It was a swish venue in a nice part of London. Very lovely Saturday night out. Lots of well-mannered respectful guys whom I spoke to and all looking for a serious relationship/marriage which was good. I think the lock and key was fun and the staff at venue were very professional and friendly. Importantly close to the station and felt safe. (Could have had better a/c but the fans were nice)

  Good vibe and everyone was super friendly! Speed dating was definitely speedy, but a good icebreaker before the lock and key event!

HOW IT WORKS

The beauty of Speed Dating Southend 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 Southend 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 girl.

Meet & Mingle

A Southend 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. 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.
