Many have already found love ❤️
“When I went to my first speed dating event, I had zero expectations
You may not find someone the first time or the 10th time, but at least these guys take the trouble to show up and put their best foot forward. They are making the effort which is more than I can say for some people on online dating sites – and that’s not even counting the sleazeballs.
– a happy attendee”
“I would like to let you know that last month,
“I just wanted to let you know…
So thank you for all the effort in putting these events together… don’t worry about giving me a refund on the ticket, maybe you can give that to someone that rocks up on the night without a ticket as I know how hard They are to get. thanks so much again.”

Event Details
Speed dating is the perfectly timed espresso shot of the dating world—quick, energizing, and potentially life-changing for Brisbane singles tired of endless swiping. Our 30-47 age event brings together professionals who’ve outgrown the Valley club scene but aren’t ready for Netflix-alone nights. Being single in Brisbane means everyone seems connected, yet meaningful relationships remain elusive. Join us at stylish Milky Lane Newstead (76 Skyring Terrace), easily reached via the Blue CityGlider bus or a short walk from Bowen Hills station. Wear smart casual that boosts your confidence—perhaps something from James Street boutiques or Newstead’s Sass & Bide outlet. Whether arriving from apartment-filled Teneriffe or ferry-accessible Bulimba, your journey to romance begins the moment you decide to attend.
How It Works
Your evening unfolds over two hours of potential connections, meeting up to 20 people seeking genuine relationships. Upon arrival, you’ll receive a name tag and instructions for our Matching App 4.0—ladies stay seated while gentlemen rotate every five minutes at the bell. From 7-9pm, you’ll enjoy twelve five-minute dates with thoughtful ice breakers, plus an 8pm intermission to catch your breath. Our system preserves dignity—indicate interest privately through the app, and contact details are shared at 8am the next morning only when there’s mutual attraction. Conversation cards rescue you from the dreaded “what do you do?” loop, ensuring meaningful discussions. Unlike dating apps with outdated photos, here you’ll experience real chemistry with 40 attendees (20 men, 20 women) in balanced ratios—no more ghosting or catfishing, just authentic connections.
Who You’ll Meet
Our Brisbane 29-47 crowd features established professionals with thriving careers but limited dating success. You’ll meet corporate lawyers brilliant in court but awkward at South Bank, successful entrepreneurs whose dating lives have crashed, and creatives with perfect Instagram feeds but quiet dating apps. The challenge: Brisbane’s “small town in a big city” phenomenon creates dating droughts despite metropolitan living. Your fellow speed daters seek compatibility beyond physical attraction, valuing intellectual connection and shared goals. Pro tip: bring one character-revealing question and listen more than you speak. For successful matches, suggest Howard Smith Wharves for a second date, where Story Bridge views provide both romance and conversation starters.
Your Host
Speed Dating Social, founded by Darcy Todd in 2020 after his own dating app disappointments, has introduced 37,423 singles across 787 events nationwide. We maintain strict equal gender ratios that prevent the imbalance common at singles events. Tickets cost $29.90 (early bird) or $34.90 (last release)—less than several months on premium dating apps with questionable results. Though we don’t offer refunds, ticket transfers are available with 48 hours’ notice. Questions? Contact matches@speeddatingsocial.com for prompt responses.
The Venue
Milky Lane Newstead offers more than just a venue—its industrial-chic interior with exposed brick, mood lighting, and curated playlist immediately eases first-date jitters. This transformed 1940s wool storage facility features acoustic “conversation corners” where you can actually hear your date without shouting. During intermission, try their signature “Meet Cute Martini” featuring Tamborine Mountain distillery liqueur. Speed dating here feels like a sophisticated gathering where connections form naturally against Brisbane’s river views. Afterward, consider strolling along the Brisbane Riverwalk—the perfect suggestion for a follow-up date where conversation can flow without time constraints.
