About this event
You’re looking at joining Manchester’s most popular speed dating event—15 matches, a private venue, and an awesome It's a Date host to keep the fun flowing.
As you make your way through Side Store and up the stairs past Side Bar, you’ll come to a door that opens into a secret space—a den of antiquity where music plays and people gather to make cool, casual connections in a super-chic setting. Inside, your It’s a Date host provides the social glue as you’re introduced to 30 single guests for a relaxed night of fun, friendly, and informal introductions.
Our host will be at the venue ready to welcome you from 19:30. Please arrive on time for registration, to grab a drink from the bar, and to receive a quick overview of how the evening will run. You’ll also be given an optional name sticker, a pen, and a note card to keep track of everyone you meet.
Ladies will be seated at tables that are comfortably spaced, discreetly numbered, and arranged in a relaxed area of the venue. Once speed dating begins, gents will join ladies for 5-minute dates. Your host will signal the end of each round, prompting gents to move to the next table in ascending order.
Between rotations, you’ll have a moment to jot down your impressions of the previous date and note whether you’d like to reconnect later. These cards are for your reference only.
Midway through the evening, your host will announce a 15-minute comfort break, giving you time to use the restroom, refresh your drink, or mingle with new connections. Dating will then resume for the second half of the event.
At the end of the evening, the bar will remain open for further socialising. Afterwards, you can log in to your dashboard to record feedback on your dates and see your matches.

Frequently asked questions
Absolutely! We work extremely hard to ensure a balanced mix of men and women at each of our events. On the very rare occasions we don’t confirm even numbers, we typically reschedule to ensure you have an excellent experience. If this happens, we’ll send an email with as much notice as possible.
Our events attract a diverse range of people, which is one reason they’re so popular! The main trait that links all our guests is the age bracket. Beyond that, everyone is single and open to meeting new people—an excellent starting point!
We always provide an estimated number of attendees in the event description, so check there for details. We understand that the more people you meet, the more enjoyable your experience will be, so we aim to reach the maximum number of guests at every event.
We encourage guests to attend events within their age range, but it’s just a guideline. Occasionally, we have attendees who are a year or two outside the range. You’re welcome to join the age group that feels most comfortable to you, but please consider the expectations of other guests.
Straight after the event you will receive an email from james@itsadate.club inviting you to create an account. There you will view your event, other attendees, and be able to participate in the post-event matching and messaging process. A great way to set up that second date!
We understand that plans change, so please don't worry! If you let us know by emailing james@itsadate.club at least 48 hours before your event, we’ll reschedule you to an alternative of equal value with no extra charge.
