When we launched our speed dating events in March 2003, the concept was still fairly new in the UK, with events mainly held in the larger cities, though these days most people can get to speed dating events without travelling major distances. Many companies in the past entered the speed dating market in search of an easy buck, but found themselves having to cancel events due to insufficient bookings in smaller towns – thankfully now the speed dating market is very stable with a handful of well established companies offering well attended, quality events across the country.
The debate runs on as to whether or not speed dating as a concept is here to stay, or destined to be replaced the next latest thing. Five years on, speed dating at Smart Dating UK is still going strong, and still the most popular singles event we offer. If you're a speed dating regular, although you'll become very familiar with the speeddating format, the singles market is always changing, so you'll see new faces each time you attend an event.
