About this Event
Original Dating is excited to bring our signature style of speed dating to Bournemouth.
You’ll meet around 15–20 people over the course of the evening, enjoying a series of four‑minute mini‑dates, just long enough to spark a connection and decide who you’d like to see again.
Once the event wraps up, you’ll be able to log into our bespoke online matching system to discover your mutual matches and arrange that all‑important follow‑up date.
Our events always attract a lively, friendly crowd, and we’d love for you to be part of it!

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.
