A relaxed, friendly way to meet lots of single people in one night!When you hear speed dating, it can sound a bit intense and maybe even a little daunting.
But the reality?
It’s just a room full of single people in the same position as you.
Some have been single a while.
Some are newly single.
Some haven’t dated in years.
Everyone is simply there to chat, meet new people, and see what happens.What makes our events different?
We’ve been running these events for over a year and a half now, and we sell out almost every single time.That means on the night, you can expect:
* Around 16–18 men and 16–18 ladies
This isn’t one of those events where you turn up, and the numbers are off. We carefully manage the balance so everyone gets the same experience.

More InformationOne of Shropshire's newest sporting events roars into life on Saturday 19 September as the inaugural Hills Ford Stages Rally Festival arrives at Weston Park.
The Rally Festival forms the opening day of the Hills Ford Stages Rally weekend, beginning with the ceremonial start in Shrewsbury before around 150 rally crews head to Weston Park to tackle four spectacular special stages, including the famous Weston Park Water Splash, with almost five hours of thrilling rally action.
There's much more than motorsport too. Visitors can enjoy local trade stands, food and refreshments, family attractions, the PATHWAYS – Discover Motorsport education zone, the DriveWize road safety initiative, and opportunities to meet the volunteers who make rallying possible.
The rally continues on Sunday 20 September with a full day of closed-road competition across five stages in South Shropshire, each run twice, as crews battle for overall victory. This year's event welcomes competitors from eight rally championships, featuring everything from iconic historic rally cars to the very latest Rally2 machinery. Several championships feature double-header rounds, while others reach their season finale at the Hills Ford Stages, where national championship titles will be decided.
As a not-for-profit event, spectator parking at Weston Park is managed by local charities and community groups, with all parking donations going directly to support their work.
Advance tickets are available for the Weston Park Rally Festival on Saturday 19 September. Sunday's closed-road rally uses separate spectator viewing areas, with parking available at designated locations. Details of spectator areas and parking for Sunday will be published closer to the event on the Hills Ford Stages website and Facebook page.

Drawing on her heritage in the west of Ireland, Belinda’s music showcases her unique ,minimalist and deeply expressive style.

Friday 2 October
Village Hall, Rhydycroesau, Oswestry
8pm, £15 (child £8)Methera is a string quartet with roots firmly planted in English traditional music. Its four members combine a deep knowledge of traditional music with a wide range of other influences and expertise and a deep sense of musical interaction. Newly composed pieces sit alongside timeless traditional material; their music is both sophisticated and earthy, groundbreaking and familiar, enchanting and thrilling. Their national tours, BBC radio broadcasts and collaborations have helped them blaze a trail through the uncharted territory that lies between folk and chamber music. Their two fiddlers are Emma Reid, who is no stranger to Rhydycroesau – she’s played here in several combinations over the years – and Grace Smith, whose many other collaborations include a duo with Sam Sweeney. They are joined by cellist Lucy Elkiss, who studied under jazz violinist Omar Puente, and Miranda Rutter on viola, who often collaborates with the likes of Chris Wood, Rob Harbron and, again, Sam Sweeney.
The legendary Alistair Anderson called their music a 'joyous cauldron of sound’, while accordionist Karen Tweed described them as ‘a marvel of musicality’. You can hear clips on their website http://methera.co.uk. This will be a rare chance to see them on a short UK autumn tour.As usual, we strongly recommend advance booking as our concerts do sometimes sell out.
Tickets can be reserved by phoning Eirene on 01948 710218 or John on 01691 791403, or if you’re near Llansilin you can pick them up at Eirian’s organic shop Siop y Rhosydd.
No bar at Rhydycroesau so please bring your own drink and drinking vessel.
