Ready to meet your match? Dive into Preston's hottest speed dating scene. Secure your spot now!

Original Dating is excited to bring our speed dating nights to Preston. A lively, laid‑back way to meet new people, spark real connections, and enjoy a memorable evening out.

Across a series of relaxed four‑minute mini‑dates, you’ll meet around 15 to 20 other singles. It’s just enough time to feel a spark, share a moment, and decide whether you’d like to continue the conversation beyond the event.

After the event, our secure online matching system lets you choose who you’d like to see again. When there’s a mutual match, we’ll put you in touch so you can plan that all‑important next date.

Expect a warm, friendly atmosphere, a great mix of guests, and a professionally hosted event designed to make meeting people feel natural, enjoyable, and completely stress‑free.

Come for the experience. Stay for the connections. You never know who you’ll meet.

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 really starts. Most people stay at the bar for a drink and get to know the people they liked a little better.
