Speed Dating in The City
Description
A brief walk from Moorgate Station, nestled in the vibrant heart of The City, is The Refinery Citypoint—a firm favourite mid-week speed dating spot. It’s a fantastic setting for those seeking genuine connections in a laid-back and enjoyable atmosphere. The event takes place in a semi-private lounge area, providing a calm space for one-on-one introductions. For those eager to mingle further, the lively bar is perfect for pre-event drinks or extending conversations with newfound matches.
Our host will be at the venue ready to welcome you at 19:30. Please arrive on time for registration, to grab any drinks from the bar, and receive a summary of how things will work. You will be given an optional name sticker, a pen, and 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. If you have any questions on the event or how things will work, please get in contact with James on 07517 065 492 or james@itsadate.club. |
