Classic speed dating from an OG organiser
£15–30
If you are looking for something tried and tested over gimmicks, this is one of the more established options. Original Dating runs structured speed dating events with clear rotations and post-event matching, aimed at professionals in their 30s and 40s who are looking for something serious. To date they have hosted more than 10,000 events, so events are well-run and well-attended. They even offer a guarantee that you will meet at least one person you would want to see again, or your next event is free. It is reliable and straightforward, but the format is quite traditional, so do not expect anything particularly novel.
