Speed Dating in Reading | Ages 30-49

Original Dating is thrilled to bring our speed dating events to Reading — a fun, relaxed way to meet new people, spark genuine connections, and enjoy an unforgettable night out.

You’ll meet around 15–20 other singles through a series of easy-going four‑minute dates — just long enough to sense a spark, share a smile, and decide whether you’d like to get to know someone better.

Afterwards, our private online matching system lets you choose who you’d like to see again. If the interest is mutual, our system will connect you so you can arrange that all‑important next date.

Expect a warm, sociable atmosphere, a great mix of guests, and a professionally hosted evening designed to make meeting people feel natural, enjoyable, and completely stress‑free.

Come for the experience. Stay for the connections. You never know who you might meet.

Important information
This event takes place in the downstairs bar. Please head downstairs where the host will meet you on arrival.

- Doors open 7.00 pm
- Event starts 7.30 pm
- Speed dating finishes at approximately 9.30 pm
- Venue closes 12.30 am

It’s essential that you arrive before 7.25 pm in order to take part. We might not be able to allow entry if you are late.

How it works
When you arrive at the venue you'll meet our friendly hosts. We'll briefly explain the format of the event and you'll be straight into your first date.

You'll have 4 minutes to meet and briefly get to know each person. We've found that 4 minutes is just long enough to find out if you'd like to see someone again but not too long if you don't.

Girls stay at the same table throughout the evening and guys move around the room.

After meeting each person, you need to decide if they are a 'yes' a 'no' or a 'friend' and jot down any notes to help you remember them. You'll find out who you matched with the next day and you can message your matches via our app or website.

We'll have a short break halfway through for you to top up your drinks.

After the event
The speed dating is over when you've met everybody, but this is often when the fun really starts. Most people stay at the bar for a few drinks and get to know the people they liked a little better.
