Successful Speed Dating

Our techies have done some number crunching and have worked out that there were an incredible 43,516 matches as a result of Slow Dating events held throughout the UK in 2007.

No surprises that this has led to many successful relationships, and some nine marriages last year; well nine that we know about anyway!

Doing our bit for charity

Every year, a percentage of our annual profits goes to breast cancer charities to support them, albeit in a small way, continue their valued and specialised work.

Here we are presenting our latest cheque.

Following the successful launch, we will now run regular events for all age ranges in Norwich.

Celebrating Four Successful Years

Over 200 people drank, chatted and danced away at our recent fourth birthday bash.

Twenty Twentysomethings

After the success of our 'Twenties Only' events last year, we will now be holding more of these events.

During September 2007, there will be a choice of events across our twenty three cities exclusively for those in their twenties.

As with all Slow Dating introduced weddings, we sent the bride a sterling silver heart keepsake box from Harrod's.

Love Unlocked

Our London Summer Party was a huge success with nearly 200 fun loving people exchanging details whilst trying to get their locks and keys to match.

Although the vast majority of our bookings are made online, there are no booking fees or surcharges if you prefer to book over the phone with us

Great New Venues

We strive to provide the most suitable venues in each of twenty two cities we run events in.

With our enhanced matching engine, daters can contact their admirers immediately by email, phone or text.

Your pod or mine?

To ensure that love was in the air at our Valentine's Day launch in York, we hired the Yorkshire Wheel for the night.

44 daters were treated to bubbly on arrival and enjoyed spectacular romantic views across the city from their individual pods.

We will now be running regular Slow Dating events in York with a variety of age ranges throughout the year.

Four minutes is all it takes

Our techies have done some number crunching and have worked out that there were a staggering 37,456 matches as a result of Slow Dating events held throughout the UK in 2006.

No surprises that this has led to many successful relationships, and some seven marriages last year; well seven that we know about anyway!

Just a reminder that anyone without email can easily join in the fun Slow Dating.

All they need is a mobile, and our FREE SMS text alerting service will automatically send details of matches direct to their mobile the instant any admirers match with them.

Photo Upload Enhancement

Our latest site enhancement lets you upload your photo to help the people you've dated remember what you look like !

Top to Toe Makeover Winner

Congratulation to Yorkshire lass Claire who won one of our recent competitions. She is off for a top to toe makeover and a full days pampering at Champneys health resort.

Invite a friend

Our latest web site enhancement gives you the ability to easily forward on details of a Slow Dating event that interests you to a friend of yours.

Naturally the message to your friend contains a link to enable you both to easily book onto your chosen evening.

Let's go shopping

Now fully live, our online store lets you buy a variety of merchandise. Choose from a wide range of cheeky designs, including some customisable options.

The online shop is of course fully secure.

Azzurri United

You may remember our recent offer - book for any event this summer and if your country wins the World Cup, we will refund your money.

We would have happily refunded the thousand or so English people who booked with us last month, but as we know, Sven let us down and England came home early.

So instead, we are refunding eight happy Italians.

Free wedding present

We often get emails from people who have found love at one of our events, telling us about their forthcoming weddings.

So, being the generous folks that we are, we have decided that for all future Slow Dating introduced weddings, we will send the bride a sterling silver heart keepsake box from Harrod's.

New books in bookshop

We have expanded the books section of our web site, bringing together in one place all sorts of dating and relationship related books.

Expect to see incredibly cheesy titles, such as "How to increase your marriage potential" and "How we're different and what to do about it" but you may well find something that tickles your fancy - check out the range now.

Wedding bells

We often get emails from people who not only enjoy our events, but find love. During May we heard from four very excitable men who were each bubbling away at the news that their new sweethearts had agreed to their marriage proposals.

Never get lost again

Our new enhanced mapping service lets you find your way to the venue easily.

As well as enabling you to zoom in and out and move around the map; with our special print function, you will only print the map details - there will be no annoying adverts on our print-outs.

Come on you Lions

Here's an amazing match winning offer - book for any event this summer and if England win the World Cup, we will refund you your money.

Not English? Choose you who think will win, and if they do, then you will get the cost of your speed dating refunded.

Still no phone booking surcharge

While other speed dating companies charge you up to £2 per person for telephone bookings, we choose not to.

Although the vast majority of our bookings are made online, there are no booking fees or surcharges if you prefer to book over the phone with us.

It is all part of the quality service we offer you.

Another great new venue

We strive to provide the most suitable venues in each of the twenty cities we run events in.

Our most recent new London bar is called Number 5, which is oddly enough at Number 5 Cavendish Square - just a few minutes walk from Oxford Circus tube station.

Formerly the Spanish Embassy, it has been imaginatively converted into a stylish and chic space.

Instant answers

So far this year we have successfully handled over four hundred customer enquiries via our online real time chat system which enables you to ask any question you have and receive an instant reply from the ever wonderful Anna and Nicola.

No other UK Speed Dating company offers this.

It's an easy listen and full of top tips - and it's also available for fast download in various formats from Tony's Science of Dating web site.

See who has yet to tick

Celebrating two successful years

Over 200 people enjoyed our recent second birthday bash at award winning bar come club Escape.

There were a lot of sore heads, and sore feet, the next day as party goers were treated to complimentary cha-cha, merengue and salsa dance sessions, and for a few brave souls, belly dancing lessons.

London Lives

Continuing our expansion, we are delighted to announce that, thanks to popular demand, we are now running more events than ever before in the Capital.

Yet more proof that Slow Dating does work!

Lucky Thirteen

We pop up on TV from time to time, most recently on Grampian up in Scotland, on one of those "Things you have to do before you die" type programmes.

The show was presented by "Scotland's 13th most eligible bachelor". However, after an enjoyable Slow Dating evening in Edinburgh, he is no longer single.

Always Improving

We have introduced a customer feedback survey system which will help us to further improve our offering to you.

This online survey enables you to provide feedback on the quality of the venue, the hosts, the web site and so on. It is is quick and easy to fill in and is available for all events that you have ever attended.

Going on Seventeen

Following a successful launch in March, Sheffield has become the latest - the seventeenth - city in which we now run regular speed dating events.

In keeping with our policy of only using up-market venues, we now have a regular booking at The Halcyon - recently voted one of Europe's best bars.

Wedding bells ?

We regularly get emails and calls from people who not only enjoy our events, but find love. During May we heard from three excitable men who shall remain nameless (at this stage) who were each bubbling away at the news that their new honeys had agreed to their marriage proposals.

Yet more proof that Slow Dating does work!
