Smart Dating

At a glance

What happens

A host meets you at the door, explains the format and introduces you to a few people. After that you choose who to keep talking to. Some evenings start with short timed conversations.

Group size

Depends on the evening: a small group at one table for dinners, a larger room for mixers.

Who it's for

People who want to meet others for dating, friendship or a night out. Their site recommends age 25 and over, and says this is not compulsory.

Cost

Paid by ticket, per event. No account or membership needed.

How you join

Open an event on their website and follow the steps there. For some evenings you send a request through a form and their team confirms the place.
