What we’re about

If you're over the dating apps, this group is for you! We're here for you live and in person!

We believe the best way to meet someone is in person and this group is for people who believe the same. Our purpose is to create live dating event experiences in Manchester which bring people together in a professionally organised, fun way.

We strive to organise positive dating events full of good vibes where people have fun meeting one another. Join this group to dip your toe in the water and get to know us!
Although we're a long-established dating event company (since 2003) we want to use this group as a place to nurture our relationships with our community and to develop our new event concepts based on your feedback to ensure we're bringing about the kind of nights that benefit our clients and deliver value.

Join us if you'd like to see what we have planned for the future and equally, join us if you'd like to have a say in what we do. Manchester is full of dating companies but few offer what we can.

Our goal is simple. We want to bring you the very best dating events possible in order that you meet someone who is right for you! We can't promise you'll meet someone at the first event you attend but we want you to enjoy the process of dating with us.

About Original Dating

Original Dating is one of the UK's longest-established speed dating organisers and we've been in business for over 20 years. That longevity means we're delivering dating experiences that people want to attend but also recommend their friends to attend too.

We're a professional company. Unlike some players, we have a small team of full-time staff. We operate officially and we invest in what we do. We invest in the experience we offer and we have online systems which really enhance the experience for our customers.

Our charismatic hosts are the very best in the business and they pride themselves on doing an amazing job of bringing people together. You'll be in great hands!

About our events

When you arrive at the venue, you’ll be met by our friendly host. After a quick introduction, you'll be straight onto your first date. Each date lasts 4 minutes, the perfect amount of time to get to know someone and not that long to just have a chat, if not.

The following day you can select your matches, 'yes' 'no' or 'friend' and by 5 pm you'll find out who you've matched with and be off on a date in no time. It's really that simple.
