Haystack Dating returns to Manchester on Thu 18 Sep, with a relaxed and sociable evening designed for people looking to meet others beyond the apps. Taking place at Spinningfields’ Electric Shuffle, the event offers a lively setting where interests align and conversation comes first.
Rather than speed dating or exhaustingly endless swiping, Haystack uses bespoke python-based technological wizardy to introduce guests to small groups who share similar values, passions and preferences – including age and sexuality – helping to create natural conversations and effortless connection in a fun, welcoming environment where the attendees simply happen to be single.
The evening blends a uniquely casual structure with plenty of free time to enjoy the venue, mingle with new people and try out a game of shuffleboard along the way.
This one-off event is fully inclusive and open to adults of all ages, with most guests coming along solo, offering an alternative to dating apps designed for people who prefer to meet face-to-face.
Thu 18 Sep, 6pm, Electric Shuffle, Ground floor, 201 Deansgate, Manchester M3 3NW, From £22.50
