Speed dating night for singles in their early thirties to mid-forties, with four-minute face-to-face dates, run by Original Dating.
Speed Dating in The City is back at The Otherist on Friday 1 January, a New Year's Day night for singles in their thirties and forties. It's run by Original Dating, who pitch speed dating as an in-person alternative to online swiping — a chance to meet people face-to-face rather than scrolling through profiles on a screen.
The format is straightforward: each date lasts four minutes, with a break halfway through for a drink. The women stay seated and the men move from table to table, so you'll get a series of short, one-on-one conversations throughout the night. To keep track of everyone you meet, you're given a Passion Passport™ to make your notes on, and matches are worked out and sent afterwards through the Original Dating website's private messages.

This particular room is for singles in their early thirties to mid-forties, with a year or so either side fine, so it's aimed at a specific age bracket rather than a general mix. Tickets are sold separately for men and women, and there are none on the door, so you'll need to book in advance. Tickets start from £15, going up to £20.
