Sydney Speed Dating Nights
If you’re single and living in Sydney, you can easily meet a bunch of singles in one night at a Speed Dating Social event. These dating nights give you around 12 to 20 in person dates. Typically each mini date lasts for 5 minutes before the gentlemen are rotated to the next table by our amazing host, Katie.
Just be sure to pre book your spot through Eventbrite so we can balance numbers and ratios, and be mindful of no refunds within 30 days of an event. Tickets from other companies might include a complimentary drink and pizza, but ours are more affordable and those who want to grab a drink can do so at the 10 minute intermission.
Specifically designed for NSW singles, simply wear something nice and remember to make good conversation. You can find events near you with venues like Hustle & Flow Bar in Redfern, The Argyle in The Rocks and Crows Nest Hotel. So that way you shouldn’t have to enter a long distance relationship.
And don’t stress about meeting everyone as there’s always mingle time before and after each event! Just be sure to finalise your matches through our mating platform and you’ll receive their contact details at 8am the next day via email.
