Speed-Dating… but with all the senses.

Think speed dating - without the small talk. We'll be exploring each other using all five senses (and minus words!)

This Singles Day (11/11), we invite you to slow down, tune in, and connect in the most delicious way in a joint event with Fox&Badge. Join us for an evening of gentle intimacy, playful connection, and sensory exploration. Forget awkward small talk, stale stories and forced conversations – this is speed dating reimagined through touch, taste, scent, sound, and presence.

Over the course of the evening, you'll move through a series of 2-minute encounters that bypass words and stories entirely. Instead, you'll experience consensual touching, feeding, dancing, whispering, gazing, and other intimate, sensory moments with each date.

This autumn edition embraces the season's invitation to draw inward – to feel more deeply, connect more authentically, and surrender to the warmth of human presence.

No performance. No pressure. Just pure, playful, loving connection.

Whether you're seeking romantic connection, curious about sensory intimacy, or simply ready to experience something beautifully unconventional, you're welcome here.


This event will centre around pairing men with women, offering frequent rotations so that everyone has a chance to meet everyone else in the room.

This is a simple, sensual, open-hearted, consent-driven dating event that enables intimacy and connection, requests participants to state, respect and maintain sensible boundaries.

VENUE

We'll be gathering in the upstairs function room of the beautiful and historic Island Queen pub (87 Noel Road, London, N1 8HD).

YOUR HOSTS

This session will be led by Alex Haw & Lauren Katalinich. Alex runs Fox&Badge and has spent his life exploring ways to connect & unleash people. Lauren co-directs Fox&Badge alongside her role as co-director of Psychedelic Society. They both love sensuality, expression, art, dance, authenticity and exploration, and believe in the power of the body to know and speak truths we don’t always listen to.

They have run versions of this workshop at Noisily Festival, Borderland and Fox&Badge; now enshrine singles-focused events at all their larger events; and are passionate about finding new ways for singles to connect.
