Welcome to Cornish Speed Dating
We love creating an inviting, safe environment, in charming venues and bars around Cornwall, giving the opportunity for single adults to form meaningful connections, with the possibility of making new friends, and finding romance or love. Our friendly hosts and well-organised events make meeting people easy and lots of fun. Come with a smile and an open mind, and see what happens.....
You never know who you're going to meet!! π
How it works!
On our speed dating nights, we like to create a fun and relaxing atmosphere. On arrival, everyone receives a warm welcome, wears a name badge, and is shown a quick briefing of the format. Whilst you are settling in, you can grab yourself a refreshing drink from the bar and chat to fellow daters.
Get ready........the first bell rings, to signal the start of the mini dates!
For the Speed Dating segment;
Ladies stay seated, as the Gentlemen rotate tables, one by one - when the bell rings!
As you meet each person, enjoy your conversations, simply fill in your scorecard afterwards, and indicate whether you'd like to see them again. If you have both selected a Tick βοΈor Yes for each other that equals a MATCH (you are informed the next day)!!
You get five minutes per date. Plus there are mingling opportunities throughout, with intervals in between for toilet breaks and a drink top up.
The number of dates you get at an event are depending on ticket sales, and venue size! We aim for a minimum of eight mini dates per person, to a maximum of fifteen!
Notes can be included, to help make your decision for the matching process on your scorecard. We suggest taking a photo of your scorecard when completed, for your own records, before handing back to the host before you leave the venue.
You will be contacted the following morning, via email, or text with your match results, and the phone numbers of those you have been matched with. Who makes the next move, is up to you....


Discover a space where every moment is an opportunity for something beautiful to blossom. Here, the possibilities are endless - and the right person might just be waiting for you!

"Thank you, Rebecca
It's very exciting to get the results and makes it a bit more real! I'm pleased though. I had a great time and am recommending it to people.
Time to be vulnerable and see what happens, I guess.
Cheers for now,"

About Us
Proud to be Cornish and love Cornwall! Setting up Cornish Speed Dating came about from personal experience, not seeing any speed dating events in the county. Intrigued by the concept of speed dating, after tediously swiping through dating apps with screen overload and struggling to fathom a connection with anyone. I wondered if there were single people out there feeling similar about dating apps - and decided to give it a go! With years of experience in hospitality, administration, events, customer care and dating, I found this mission to help people connect outside the digital world an absolute joy and pleasure! Thank you to friends, family, venue managers, bar staff, and of course our lovely participating customers for helping this manifest into a fruitful venture and provide a wonderful matchmaking service.
