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
Are you ready to rev up your love life and dive into the exciting world of speed dating for the fabulous 40-65 crowd? Welcome to the “Silver Foxes and Vixens Mingle” at the charming Bendigo Street Milk Bar in Richmond, Victoria! This isn’t your average singles event – it’s a chance for mature, vibrant individuals to connect in a fun, pressure-free environment.
Being single in your golden years in Melbourne can be both liberating and challenging, but fear not! Our speed dating social is designed to help you navigate the local dating scene with ease. Nestled in the heart of Richmond at 37 Bendigo St, this popular venue is easily accessible by public transport – just hop on the 70 tram and get off at the Bridge Road/Church Street stop. Not sure what to wear? Swing by Moss & Spy on Bridge Road for a classy outfit that’ll make you feel like a million bucks. You’ll be mingling with singles from neighboring Hawthorn and Abbotsford, so get ready to expand your social circle!
How It Works
When you arrive at our Melbourne speed dating event, you’ll be greeted by our friendly hosts who’ll give you a name card and help you scan the QR code for our cutting-edge Matching App 4.0. This nifty tool lets you see a list of all attendees right on your phone – talk about modern matchmaking! After some casual mingling at the bar, ladies will take their seats while the gents rotate every 5 minutes. It’s like musical chairs, but with potential soulmates!
You’ll have 12 five-minute mini-dates from 7 to 9 pm, giving you plenty of time to decide who you’d like to ‘Match’ or ‘Friend’ directly from your phone. No need for awkward “Can I have your number?” moments – you’ll get your matches’ contact details at 8 am the next day. With 40 attendees (20 guys and 20 ladies), you’re guaranteed equal ratios and plenty of opportunities to connect. Trust us, it beats swiping endlessly on dating apps like Tinder or Bumble any day of the week!
Who You’ll Meet
So, who exactly will you meet at our singles event? Well, picture a room full of accomplished professionals, empty nesters, and adventurous spirits all looking for that special someone to share life’s next chapter. These are folks who’ve been around the block, know what they want, and aren’t afraid to go after it. They’ve tried online dating, setups by well-meaning friends, and maybe even a blind date or two. But nothing quite compares to the chemistry of face-to-face interaction.
Many attendees are balancing successful careers with a desire for companionship, while others are embracing retirement and seeking a partner for new adventures. The challenges of dating in your 40s, 50s, and 60s are unique, but our speed dating social provides a supportive environment to overcome them. Pro tip: Come with an open mind and a few icebreaker questions up your sleeve. And if you hit it off with someone special, why not suggest a second date at the nearby Melbourne Museum? Nothing like a bit of cultural exploration to keep the sparks flying!

The Venue
Now, let’s talk about our fantastic venue, the Bendigo Street Milk Bar. This quirky spot at 37 Bendigo St, Richmond, isn’t just any old bar – it’s a piece of Melbourne history! Originally built in the 1930s as a corner store, it was transformed into its current incarnation by owner Sarah Foletta in 2012. The vintage charm of exposed brick walls and retro milk bar memorabilia creates a nostalgic atmosphere that’s perfect for breaking the ice.
The cozy booths are ideal for intimate conversations during your mini-dates, while the spacious bar area allows for relaxed mingling during breaks. Don’t forget to try their signature cocktail, the “Milk Bar Mudslide” – it’s a great conversation starter! The laid-back vibe of this venue takes the pressure off and lets you focus on making genuine connections. Our top tip? Arrive a few minutes early to soak in the ambiance and calm any pre-dating jitters. Who knows? Your perfect match might just be waiting for you at the Bendigo Street Milk Bar!
