Welcome to the busiest speed dating event in Chelmsford.

Spend Friday evenings with us at The Courtyard and get the chance to meet other fun and eligible singles from local and the surrounding areas.

Speed Dating is a great way to meet up to 15-20 people in one night, consisting of lots of short, 4 minute dates. It's great fun and it's the perfect amount of time to decide if you'd like to see them again.

After the event you will have access to our unique matching system and find out who you matched with. You'll be chatting again in no time and be meeting up for another date before you know it.

Important information

This event takes place in the upstairs bar.

- Doors open 7.00pm

- Event starts 7.30pm

- Speed dating finishes approximately 9.30pm

- Venue closes 11.30pm

It’s essential that you arrive before 7.25pm in order to take part. We might not be able to allow entry if you are late.

How it works

When you arrive at the venue you’ll meet our friendly hosts. We’ll briefly explain the format of the event and you’ll be straight into your first date.

You’ll have 4 minutes to meet and briefly get to know each person. We’ve found that 4 minutes is just long enough to find out if you'd like to see someone again but not too long if you don't.

Girls stay at the same table throughout the evening and guys move around the room.

After meeting each person, you need to decide if they are a ‘yes’ a ‘no’, or a ‘friend’ and jot down any notes to help you remember them. You'll find out who you matched with the next day and you can message your matches via our app or website.

We'll have a short break halfway through for you to top up your drinks.

After the event

The speed dating is over when you’ve met everybody, but this is often when the fun starts. Most people stay at the bar for a few drinks and get to know the people they like a little better.
