Unified Dating - Meet Singles in Milton Keynes

Unified Dating are running another singles event in Milton Keynes on Sunday 29 November, their take on speed-dating as an alternative to the apps. The whole thing is open to anyone 18 and over, and it's built around meeting people locally in a relaxed, informal setting rather than scrolling through profiles on a screen.

One of the things that sets it apart is how it's run. There are no staff on the event floor, so the people there are left to their own devices to chat and get on with it. Tickets cover your entry only, and you order your food and drinks directly from the venue as you go. It's a straightforward setup: you turn up, you talk, and you decide for yourself who you actually fancy.

When you book, you choose from a few different ticket types — Straight, Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual — and that determines which room you're placed in, so you're matched with people you're actually interested in. The dress code is smart casual, and it's worth keeping in mind that tickets are sold online only, with nothing available at the door on the night.

Entry is £17.99 per person, and the venue is a secret one in Milton Keynes, to be announced closer to the date. If you're over 18 and fancy a night of meeting people in person, it's on Sunday 29 November.
