"Kiss Dating Apps Goodbye" Festival + Date IRL World Record Speed Dating Attempt

### 💥 World Record Speed Dating Attempt–Kiss Dating Apps Goodbye 💥

Find your people — and maybe your person.

Oxford has a chance to make history.

We're in the early stages of envisioning the world’s largest speed dating event in history — right here in Oxford/Oxfordshire — and you’re invited to be part of the movement.

***

#### 🌍 What’s the Big Idea?

Our vision is to take over a major outdoor venue in Oxford/Oxfordshire for one monumental weekend in Autumn 2025 (exact date and venue TBA). Our goal? 2,500+ attendees and a spot in the record books.

The current public record?

2,060 participants at a speed dating event in Salt Lake City, Utah (US).

We’re aiming bigger.

This is more than just an event.

It’s a national movement to Kiss Dating Apps Goodbye — and bring back the joy of meeting IRL.

***

#### 💘 How It Is Planned to Work

Every participant would go on at least 20 one-on-one speed dates, matched by age and preferences. You’ll rotate through real face-to-face chats with age appropriate potential partners.

You’ll choose your section:

• Straight (Women & Men)
• Bi/Pan
• Gay Men
• Lesbian Women

Everyone is welcome — this is a fully inclusive event for all orientations and gender identities.

💡 (Clear signs would be utilised on the day of the event to ensure everyone knows exactly where they are going!)

***

#### 🎉 After-Party Festival?

If we hit our RSVP goal, the event goes ahead, and all necessary licensing and permit requirements, we’re turning this into a full-day festival:

• Food trucks
• Lawn games
• Outdoor bars
• Live music
• Dancing
• A place to reconnect with matches
• Live spontaneous mystery match dates on stage
• Hot ones (wings!) and hot romance challenge
• And maybe even a group pledge to delete dating apps together

***

#### 👥 Who’s It For?

Everyone 18 and up (ID required for entry).

Whether you’re single, curious, open, or just tired of apps — we want you there.

If you are in a couple, you could skip out on the speed dating and join in after for the festivities!

***

1. Show demand to secure sponsors, licensing, and venues.
