Unified Dating - Meet Singles

Unified Dating is running a speed dating event for singles at Edinburgh Secret Venue on Tuesday 26 January 2027, starting at 13:00. It's one of those sessions that doesn't ask you to commit your whole evening, so if you're not usually one for the late-night scene, a weekday afternoon slot like this is a decent way to ease into it.

The format is speed dating, which is exactly what it sounds like: a series of short, timed dates with different people, one after the other. You get a few minutes with each person to see if there's any spark before moving on to the next. It's a fast way to meet a fair few people in one go, rather than putting all your hopes on a single long date that might not go anywhere. If you do hit it off with someone, you'll be able to let the organisers know, and they'll put you in touch afterwards.

What sets this one apart is that Unified Dating runs these across a range of timeslots. This particular session is at 13:00, but they also do them for lunch, dinner, drinks, brunch, or even as walks. It means you can pick a time that actually fits your day, whether that's a lunchtime break or something later on, rather than having to work your whole schedule around a single event. If a mid-week afternoon isn't your thing, there's usually another slot to choose from.

It's held at Edinburgh Secret Venue, so you'll get the location details once you've signed up. Tickets are £17.99, and it kicks off at 13:00 on Tuesday 26 January.
