Find Your Valentine Matched Speed Dating

Find your Valentine 2025! CitySwoon is very excited to be holding a big Speed Dating party at Hideout on the Harbour the night before Valentine's Day, so you can meet loads of like-minded singles and maybe even line up a date for the big day!

This event includes 2 drinks - one on arrival and one at the end of dating. Earlybird tickets for this event are just $59 but go up very soon to $69, then $79 final release!

Check-in is on your phone, with NO match cards, drink tokens, paper or pens required - just bring your phone and your great attitude! So, please ensure it's fully charged.
