Speed dating evening with Original Dating in The Crown's private function room, for people aged 40-55.
Original Dating are running a speed dating evening at The Crown on Thursday 5 November, held in the pub's private function room. The age guide for this one is 40-55, so it's aimed at a specific bracket rather than a general mix.
The format is straightforward: a round of face-to-face conversations, each lasting around four minutes, with a break partway through. The whole thing takes about 90 minutes. Once it's over, you submit your preferences through Original Dating's matching system, and you'll find out your mutual matches the following day. It's a fast way to meet a fair few people in one sitting, and the matching happens after you've had a chance to think it over rather than on the spot.
The Crown is on Hatfield Road, close to St Albans City station, so it's easy to get to if you're coming in from elsewhere. It's a proper pub with food, real ales, craft beer, live sport and a beer garden, which is handy if you want to linger for a drink before or after. The speed dating takes place in the private function room, tucked away from the main bar.
