Forget swiping

The spark happens when you're sat across the table from someone, and a few minutes is all it takes to feel it. Everyone's single, everyone's in their 30s and 40s, and everyone's there for the same reason. No guesswork, no endless chatting to people who never turn up.

Your night out

Join us at Be At One - New Street in Birmingham on Wednesday 10 February at 8pm. Grab your Passion Passport™ from our host when you arrive: it's where you jot down everyone you meet. You'll have a short date with every guy or every lady in the room, a few minutes each, with a break halfway for a drink.

Finding out who you matched

MySpeedDate nights are run by Original Dating, so your matches live in your Original Dating account. Once the night's over, log in, see everyone who came and tick Yes, No or Friend for each. Matches are worked out at 5pm the following day, and you can chat to yours straight away with private, secure messages. A No stays between you and us.

Good to know

Doors open half an hour before the start, and the nearest station is Birmingham New Street. Tickets are sold separately for ladies and guys to keep the numbers even, so book early to make sure of your place.

Questions and answers

Can I come on my own?

Of course: most people do, and our host will make you feel at home.

Why are there separate tickets for ladies and guys?

So the numbers stay even and everyone gets to meet as many people as possible.

What if I'm a little outside the age range?

Don't worry about a birthday or two: the evening is at its best when everyone is roughly the same age.

Can I bring a friend?

Yes, book a ticket for each of you (a ladies' or guys' ticket each). We'll be in touch for their details after you book.

How do I find out who I matched with?

Log in to your Original Dating account after the night and tick who you'd like to see again. Your matches appear at 5pm the next day, ready to message.

Who runs MySpeedDate nights?

Original Dating runs them on MySpeedDate's behalf, so you'll hear from Original Dating after you book to set up your account. That account is where you'll find your matches.

Can I get a refund?

Tickets can't be refunded or changed, so please double-check the date before booking.
