Event Detail

Description

Conveniently located in the heart of Merchant’s Square overlooking the Paddington Basin and just moments from Paddington station, you’ll find The Lockhouse. A private mezzanine in this relaxed venue is home to some of our most well attended and fun speed dating events. We don’t know if it’s the unbeatable location, great selection of beers and wines, or just our charismatic hosts that draw in the crowds but whatever the reason, you can be sure of a cracking evening!

Our host will be at the venue ready to welcome you at 19:30. Please arrive on time for registration, grab any drinks from the bar, and receive a summary of how things will work. You will be given an optional name badge, a pencil, and a note card to keep track of everyone you’ve met.

Ladies will be seated on tables adequately spaced, discreetly numbered, and arranged in a comfortable area of the venue. When speed dating commences, gents will join ladies for 5-minute dates to get to know one another. Your host will notify all guests at the end of each date, signalling for gents to move to the next table in ascending numerical order.

During table rotations, you will have a moment to record on note cards your feelings towards the previous date and intention to reconnect, for your reference only.

Mid-way through the evening, your host will indicate a 15-minute comfort break to use the rest room, head to the bar, or socialise with new connections. Dating will then resume for the second half of the evening.

At the end of the speed dating the bar will remain open for more socialising. You can then access the event listing in your dashboard to enter feedback on dates and await your matches.
