Are you bored of dating apps - with choice overload, ghosting, catphishes, screen consumption? We create these events to give you a break from all that and the digital world! Nothing beats authenticity and meeting in person.

We understand that most people will be feeling somewhat nervous before attending this event, and we encourage you to step outside of your comfort zone and try it anyway. Overcoming the nerves and attending brings a rewarding feeling and many benefits; like gaining confidence, and social skills, as well as the prospect of meeting someone for you. We endeavour to make people feel as comfortable as possible with a warm welcome. Plus refreshing bar drinks are always available for those needing that bit of dutch courage.

It depends on the venue size and attendance on the night. We aim for at least 8 mini dates per person, and anywhere up to 14 is the maximum. Each one is around 5 minutes long. At the sound of the ringing bell gentlemen switch seats to the next table with a lady sat at each one. Chat away and see if there's a connection. As you date each person, fill out your scorecard and indicate whether you'd like to see them again, along with any handy notes. The completed scorecard is given to the host at the end, and you will receive your match results the next day. 

All are welcome to attend who are living permanently in Cornwall. Our name is more to do with location than where you were born.

This decision is left to your own discernment, and can vary at each event. 

Example a 30 plus may stretch to people attending up to 50 years old/early 50s. So expect a mix of 30s/40s and possibly 50s (unless we have capped the age range)

We recommend not to get too hung up over the ages and focus more on connection. If you’re unsure, try different age groups!

This is a guide and not strict. It depends on how you feel about where you fit in.

Anything you wish, and we encourage you to be your authentic self, honest and open! As long as it's mutual topics and appropriate! Most people want to know the area you live, your job, your hobbies and interests, and find that that is enough to get the ball rolling until time is up. (The time does go really fast so make the most of it). We also provide some fun casual conversation starters on the tables, for other ideas, should you need them.

If for any reason you need to cancel your booking, please inform us immediately. Our events rely on an even number of male/female attendees and the seating to be at full capacity in order to give everyone the maximum opportunity to find a match. Full refunds are given with 7 or more days notice before the event date (minus a £2.50 admin fee).  Tickets are non-exchangeable or refundable with less than 7 days notice given to us by the attendee.

We believe five minutes is long enough to indicate whether you are interested or not. 

We recommend if you are unsure and need more time, chatting to that person during breaks or tick 'yes' on your scorecard anyway. If it's mutual, get to know eachother outside of speed dating and see how it goes. 

Ironically five minutes might seem too long if you're not interested during the speed date. On the plus side you never know what can come of it, learning something new, making a friend or perhaps networking, you never know.  

Yes, yes, yes! We are thrilled to share, we hear about these occasionally. Long term loving relationships have formed and fingers crossed our first wedding invite is on the way!
