Speed dating night with four-minute mini-dates for singles aged 30-45 at The Midsummer Tap in Milton Keynes.
Original Dating are bringing a speed dating night for ages 30-45 to The Midsummer Tap on Thursday 12 November. It's a straightforward setup: you'll have a series of relaxed four-minute mini-dates with around 15 to 20 other singles. The women stay at their tables while the men move around, and the whole thing is professionally hosted in a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The dating part wraps up around 9.30pm, so you're not stuck there all night if you've got a morning to get up for.
Afterwards, the matching is handled through a secure online system. You choose who you'd like to see again, and where the interest is mutual, the company connects you so you can message each other through their app or website. Most people stick around at the bar for a while after the dates finish to get to know their favourite new acquaintances a bit better, which is often the easiest part of the night.
The night is run by Original Dating, a company that says it's been around since speed dating first came about and still stages events across the UK, including its lock & key parties. The Midsummer Tap itself is a newly revealed, avant-garde haven in Milton Keynes' Theatre District that blends culinary artistry with an eclectic, rustic-charm ambiance.
