What we’re about

Hello, we’re It’s a Date — Manchester’s go-to singles parties and dating events crew.
We’re professional icebreakers, breathing fresh life into the city’s dating scene with feel-good events, buzzing venues, and hosts who know how to spark great vibes.

From our own adventures (and those of our single friends), we learned there’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to love. So, we reimagined dating nights — designing events where you can show up as yourself, have fun, and meet people who are genuinely on your wavelength.

Picture it: a trendy venue, a room full of outgoing single guests, and our lively hosts to provide the social glue. Suddenly, meeting the one doesn’t feel like a chore — it feels like a party.

Our mission? Simple: to bring people together with fresh, feel-good events that make dating exciting again.

  • Speed Dating in Manchester | Ages 30 to 45

    Speed Dating in Manchester | Ages 30 to 45

    Side Street, ABC Building, Lower Byrom Street, Greater Manchester, GB

    BOOK YOUR TICKET 👉🏼 HERE.

    Meet a social bunch of single guests as you enjoy 5-minute dates with 15 potential matches during this super-popular, fun, and fast-paced Friday evening of introductions.

    As you make your way through Side Store and up the stairs past Side Bar, you’ll come to a door that opens into a secret space—a den of antiquity where music plays and people gather to make cool, casual connections in a super-chic setting. Inside, your It’s a Date host provides the social glue as you’re introduced to 30 single guests for a relaxed night of fun, friendly, and informal introductions.

    Our host will be at the venue ready to welcome you from 19:30. Please arrive on time for registration, to grab a drink from the bar, and to receive a quick overview of how the evening will run. You’ll also be given an optional name sticker, a pen, and a note card to keep track of everyone you meet.

    Ladies will be seated at tables that are comfortably spaced, discreetly numbered, and arranged in a relaxed area of the venue. Once speed dating begins, gents will join ladies for 5-minute dates. Your host will signal the end of each round, prompting gents to move to the next table in ascending order.

    Between rotations, you’ll have a moment to jot down your impressions of the previous date and note whether you’d like to reconnect later. These cards are for your reference only.

    Midway through the evening, your host will announce a 15-minute comfort break, giving you time to use the restroom, refresh your drink, or mingle with new connections. Dating will then resume for the second half of the event.

    At the end of the evening, the bar will remain open for further socialising. Afterwards, you can log in to your dashboard to record feedback on your dates and see your matches.

    If you have any questions about the event or how things will work, please contact James at 07517 065 492 or via email at james@itsadate.club.

    We kick things off at 19:30 when your host will be ready to greet you at the venue. If you’re unsure where to go, simply ask the friendly bar team. Once there, you’ll be shown to the exclusive event area, offered an optional name sticker, and guided on where to leave your jacket.

    Singles parties at The Alchemist are casual and relaxed—perfect for chatting with people who spark your interest without any pressure. With over 80 attendees at every event, there’s plenty of time to connect with others, enjoy a drink or two, and soak up the lively atmosphere.

    Throughout the night, your host will ensure everyone gets the chance to meet and make introductions if requested. To top things off, The Alchemists resident DJ will be providing the soundtrack to your evening until late.

    After the event concludes, you can log into your online dashboard to leave feedback on the people you’ve met. Matches are created when two guests express mutual interest, giving you the chance to connect and message through our platform.

    We can’t wait to welcome you to a night filled with conversations, connections, and maybe even a spark of magic.
