Unified Dating - Meet Singles in Nottingham

Unified Dating is running a singles meet-up in Nottingham on Sunday 25 October, starting at 16:00. It's a speed dating afternoon, so the whole thing is built around a series of short, one-to-one chats. Each round lasts between three and five minutes, and when the bell goes, you move on to the next person. By the time you've worked your way through the room, you've had a quick word with everyone there.

After the rounds are finished, you mark down the people you'd like to see again. The organiser then takes those lists and connects the mutual matches, so you only get the details of the people who felt the same way. It's a straightforward way of doing things that cuts out the guesswork of wondering if the feeling was mutual.

These sessions are usually split by age group — typically 20s, 30s, 40s and 50s — and they tend to draw between 20 and 40 people, with a mix of professionals and students. In Nottingham, they're often held in city-centre bars and restaurants like Slug and Lettuce or Be At One, and many include a free drink on arrival to help settle the nerves.

The venue for this one is a Nottingham Secret Venue, to be confirmed closer to the date. Tickets are £17.99, and it kicks off at 16:00 on Sunday 25 October.
