About this Event
Welcome to Speed Mating: Silent Disco Edition - a queer social experiment with a twist.
This time, we’re taking things to Creature, your favourite dive bar with a rainbow heart, and turning connection into something a little different. Think music in your ears, low-pressure vibes, and conversations that happen on your terms.
Speed Mating is designed for LGBTQIA+ folks, especially our neurodivergent community, who want to build confidence, meet new people, and connect in a space that actually feels comfortable.
Sound like you?
You want to get out, but typical queer events feel overwhelming
You’ve never quite found your place in the scene
You’re looking for something social that isn’t loud, intense, or performative
Then this is for YOU!
What to expect:
- A silent disco setup so you can control your sensory experience
- Bring your own headphones so you can stay in your comfort zone
- Light prompts and activities to make starting conversations easier
- A relaxed, come as you are atmosphere with zero pressure to “perform” socially
- A new format each time - we’re always experimenting, so no two nights are the same
- A fully platonic space focused on connection, not dating
Why we exist:
Speed Mating is about making queer spaces feel more accessible, especially for those who don’t always feel at home in them. Whether you’re shy, socially rusty, or just over high energy events, this is a space where you can show up exactly as you are and still belong.
