About this Event

Not your usual speed dating event......

Every round starts with a prompt from our app cutting through the small talk. Some rounds will be hilarious, some deep and wild cards keep the energy moving. Our first three events sold out, and one was just featured in The Times. Now we are doing speed dating! Limited tickets.


The team

Hey, we’re Death of Small Talk. We all see it: we are all hyper connected online, but disconnected in real life. So we built an app that turns deep conversations into something fun, not heavy. Thousands downloaded it. Now we’re bringing it to real life. The goal? Spark real conversations and change how we connect.


The event

This is a straight speed dating event for ages 21–30. (If that’s not you, don’t worry. We’ll be hosting queer speed dating events soon and much more . Follow “Death of Small Talk” on socials to keep posted).

A room full of single people who actually want to connect. No endless messaging before you meet. No shouting over music. No awkward small talk. Just humans showing up as they are: curious, open, and ready to connect. Perfect whether you're an extrovert, introvert or just tired of dates that feel like job interviews.


The setup

Download the paid app (£4.99, one-time payment, no subscription, no ads, yours for life). Show up. We pair you off. 10-minute speed dating rounds. Each one starts with a prompt that skips “so what do you do?” and lands somewhere real. Some rounds get deep. Some get hilarious. You might leave with butterflies, a conversation that sticks with you on the train home or a number in your phone, because the night actually meant something.


What makes this different

The app carries the conversation with prompts that actually spark something fun, deep or surprising. Wild cards keep things unpredictable. And because you rotate every 10 minutes, the energy stays alive. New faces. New chemistry. No awkward small talk.
The ticket

Only £5. As we mentioned, you’ll also need the paid version of the app to attend. £4.99, one-time payment, no subscription, no ads, yours for life. Not sure if you have the paid app? Swipe to the red “Mix All” level and tap into it. If you can enter, you’re in.


*Real talk: Only book if you’re 100% sure you can attend.
Someone else is counting on you. We carefully balance the room, and cancellations impact everyone’s experience*
