🗓️ Revolution Parsonage Gardens – Thursday 27th March, 7.30pm
🗣️ For those of you who are new here, our events are all about creating community connections, finding someone special (romantically, and to make friends with fellow singles!) and to move beyond small talk.
🍀 With that in mind, we’ve decided to run the speed dating event in tables of four (two men and two women; with the two women swapping round each time.) Why? Well, there’s a few reasons…
1) A lot of people have told us that 1:1 can be quite intense and that a small group can help the conversation to flow better
2) It also means that you get to see how a potential partner is in general – not just with you, but how they interact with others
3) You get to ‘buddy up’ with someone for the evening, making it more light hearted and raising the chances that you also come away having made at least one single friend too, as well as meeting potential partners
4) We will sell equal numbers of men’s and women’s tickets but if anyone cancels on the day then this also avoids anyone being by themselves at any point
5) Most importantly, by having tables of four we can give you a little longer to sit and chat – nearly ten minutes with each little group. This raises the chance of you actually being able to get to know people and see if they’re a potential match.
🃏 Moving past small talk
On each table will be some conversation cards to introduce different topics of conversation. Each conversation card has three questions on it and we’d encourage you to pick one to chat about as a table, each time you swap round. It will help to shift the conversation onto more interesting areas and help you get to know more about someone than where they live and work.
📝 How will the evening work
7.30pm: please arrive promptly so you have time to buy a drink at the bar
7.45pm: we’ll get everyone seated in the first tables of four and give you chance to chat
7.55pm: we’ll do the first swap round of tables – moving women in their pairs so you meet everyone through the course of the evening
9.30pm: have fun with fellow attendees!
🥂 The event will end with free flow socialising at the bar and a chance to chat with everyone at the event. Although we’ll sort out number swaps the next day; we’d strongly encourage you to ask for people’s details on the night, as we’ve found the chances of a date are MUCH higher when you ask in person. You can find some top tips on how to do so HERE.
👕 Dress code: whatever makes you feel most comfortable and confident! Come along in something that really shows off who you are.
