Welcome to the ultimate offline dating experience!

We are excited to announce the new launch of our famous lock and key parties in Bournemouth at one of the city's top venues, 1812!

Join us for an exciting evening of offline dating, giving you the opportunity to meet local singles and potentially find someone special this season...

Up to 80 people will join us for this new singles night which features our fantastic lock & key icebreaker to ensure you meet a huge number of people.

The best bit? Everyone is single, a similar age and we ensure there's a good male/female ratio in the room.

There will also be prizes to be won as you seek out the person holding the key that matches your lock (or vice versa).

Each time you find a matching pair you'll be in with a chance to win one of our great prizes. And of course, you'll meet loads of people along the way, all in the stunning surroundings of 1812, one of the city's top hotspots!

And that's not all!

We are also excited to introduce something completely new - Original Dating's brand-new singles party experience: VibeChecker! Where you can choose to answer a series of fun, "Would You Rather" questions with each person you meet - live, face-to-face. And Vibechecker will instantly show if you vibe or not!

The clever part is based on science and Vibechecker keeps track of your answers, building a little picture of your personality as you go and you will be introduced to those most compatible by the end of the night. It's a lot of fun, a great icebreaker, and you'll end up meeting loads of people and sparking some brilliant conversations.

Following the party... head over to our website the next day to view a list of everyone that attended. Select the people you like and our system will tell you who you mutually matched with. Get in touch again via our messenger and the rest is up to you.

This party is the perfect place to meet people this Autumn. You just need your ticket...

The Lock and Key Icebreaker

Nothing breaks the ice quite like it. We give girls the padlocks and guys get the keys and the aim is to find a matching pair. Try your key with as many locks as possible (or vice versa) and you're bound to find a match.

When you find a matching set, both you and your 'match' head to our desk where you'll enter our prize draw to win some great prizes at the end of the night. You also get a new lock or key so you can carry on meeting people.

The more people you meet the more chance you have of winning a prize and of course meeting someone you like too. It works amazingly well as an icebreaker and you'll be amazed how many people you meet. It's a lot of fun!

The lock and key will run until 10.30pm when we'll draw the winners. The party doesn't end here, but by then the ice will be well and truly broken.

Matching and Messaging

Now, you're bound to meet loads of people at this party, that's guaranteed. At this event, there's no need to ask for phone numbers. Upload a picture to your profile and you'll be visible on our matching system both during and after the event.

Simply scroll through and select the people you want to see again and our system will reveal everyone you mutually matched with the following day.

Get in touch with anyone you matched with via the built-in messenger. No other company has this, and it sets our events apart.
