Speed Dating in at Mackenzies Bar

Host’s Slow Dating welcome you to Speed Dating in Swindon for 35-55yrs at Mackenzies Bar…

How Speed Dating Works in Swindon

When you arrive at Mackenzies Bar in Old Town, Swindon you will be greeted by a friendly team of professional hosts. Once everyone has arrived and registered the team will briefly explain the format of the evening. The ladies will then be asked to make their way to their allocated table. Once the ladies are seated the gentlemen will be asked to proceed to their first date.

You will have 4 minutes to chat to each date, once the 4 minutes is over, a bell will ring to indicate the time is up and for the gentlemen to move to their next date. Four minutes is long enough to see if you click with the person you are talking to and whether you would like to see them again and also short enough if you don’t.

At the end of each date you have a brief few moments to make some notes on the person you have just dated. This is something to help jog your memory for the post event matching process the next day.

Half way through the event you will have an interval break so you can nip to the toilet or top up your drink. Once all the dates are over you have the opportunity to stay on at the venue to mingle freely with others. Just remember to take your dating card home with you to assist you in entering in your ticks and potential matches.

Post Event

No later than midday the following day ‘Slow Dating’s’ matching system will be unlocked for you to enter your ticks from the previous evening. You have all day to tick as many people as you like from the night before. Slow Dating guarantee’s you will find someone you will want to see again, otherwise we will give you your next Speed Dating event for free!
