Looking to meet new friends to hang out with, or maybe find love in a comfortable, respectful environment? Join us for a speed dating event designed specifically for neurodivergent adults in Wellington!
This inclusive and sensory-considerate evening is all about meaningful conversations and low-pressure socializing. This event will be good for those with ASD, ADHD and/or anxiety. Whether you’re looking for friendship, romance, or just a fun evening out, this is your chance to connect at an event with your needs in mind.
Price includes a drink and delicious food at the break!
Accessibility and Comfort: We’re committed to making this event as accessible and welcoming as possible. Sensory-friendly spaces, quiet zones, and fidget-friendly items will be available. There will also be conversation prompts on the table. Let us know any additional accommodations that will be helpful to you when registering and we will do our best to accommodate them.
Who Can Attend: All genders and sexualities are welcome to come and mingle and meet others but the speed dating part of this evening will likely work best for heterosexual people. (This could change depending on numbers!)

Your host will be there when you arrive to sign you in and give you a name tag and a small ticket to take to the bar for your first drink. If you don’t drink alcohol you can get two soft drinks with your ticket
The speed dating doesn’t start until everyone has arrived, so there will be some time to settle in. You can chat to other people, get a drink, use the bathroom, or have some quiet time
When everyone has arrived the host will welcome everyone and give instructions
You will start off sitting at the table number you were given when you arrived
You will have 7 minutes to talk to each person. A bell will ring at the end of each round
Women stay at the same table for the whole evening while men move to the next table each round.
You will have a form on which you record a tick if you would like to exchange details with the person you have just met.
If you are both keen, it's a match and we will send you their email address the following evening so that you can keep in touch on your own terms.
