About This Event

Looking for a fun night out that might lead to something special? The Speed Dating event at The Alchemist in Salford is perfect if you're single, sociable, and ready to meet like-minded people in a relaxed setting. With a strict 21-40 age range, you'll be mingling with folks at a similar life stage, making conversations flow naturally while you enjoy affordable entry from just £10.

The Alchemist sits right in the heart of MediaCity, one of Manchester's most vibrant waterfront destinations, surrounded by trendy bars, restaurants and walkways that make it an ideal spot for a night out. The venue's modern cocktail bar atmosphere adds a touch of sophistication to the evening, taking the edge off any first-date nerves you might have before the speed dating kicks off at 19:45.

Expect a well-organised event where you'll get brief chats with multiple potential matches – bring some conversation starters ready and stay genuine. MediaCity is easily reached by tram from Manchester city centre, so you can head into town afterwards if you hit it off with someone. Dress smart-casual to fit The Alchemist's vibe, and arrive a few minutes early to settle in before the action begins.
