About this event

At Mingle Co. we understand how important it is for everyone to have an equal opportunity to socialise and connect with others. Our friend speed dating events are designed to create a welcoming and inclusive environment for adults who are neurodivergent.

  • A quiet and comfortable space where you can relax and be yourself.
  • An opportunity to expand your social circle and make new friends.
  • self- diagnosed ND individiduals are welcome to attend
  • A fun and engaging atmosphere with icebreakers cards to help you get to know other attendees in a way that dissolves awkward social barriers .
  • Professional and friendly event hosts who are dedicated to making your experience as enjoyable as possible.
  • No rejection on the day of the event. Our focus is on creating a positive and inclusive environment where everyone feels welcomed and valued.
    The activity lasts for just over one hour, where each participant has six minutes to ask their new friend questions. (10 minute toilet and drink break half way)
  • Complimentary drinks on arrival, grazing platter to share and mingle (please e-mail event organiser if you have any special food requirements)
  • on-site parking, wheel chair accesibility & accesible toilets.
  • You're welcome to bring a support person (to help with your nerves)

Of course! Our icebreaker cards serve as prompts to initiate engaging conversations and bring some fun to the table.

Is the event and venue only reserved for this specific group?

Yes. To minimize distractions, the venue is exclusively reserved for the group's use.

Can my ticket be reimbursed if I am unable to attend?

You have a full seven days to request a refund. Please contact the event organiser for arrangements.

If I bring a support person, where would they wait?

Your support person can either wait inside the designated waiting area or in the car park.

Yes, neat casual outfit.

I can't find a babysitter for that night, am I allowed to bring my child?
