Speed dating in Surry Hills
Oh Hi has one evening coming up on the inner city, in Surry Hills, for ages 28–38. Each evening is one age bracket: twelve women and twelve men at the standard nights, or one open room at the LGBTQ+ night, twelve six-minute conversations, an interval, and mutual matches by email at 9am the next morning. The 28–38 bracket, because that's who fills the pubs between Central and Oxford Street after work. Earlier and later brackets run on the North Shore and in the inner west.
Evenings on the inner city
All of SydneyGetting there
Surry Hills: a short walk from Central station, which has every train line, the light rail and buses from everywhere. From the CBD it's ten to fifteen minutes on foot, or two stops on the light rail.
Buses along Elizabeth, Crown and Cleveland streets stop within a few minutes' walk.
Every evening finishes by about 9pm, so the trip home is easy. Arrive fifteen minutes early; your host will be at the door.
the format, in brief
- One age bracket per evening, so the room is people at a similar point in life.
- Twelve six-minute conversations, with a minute between to change seats and a short interval at halfway.
- A host keeping time. You never have to end a conversation yourself.
- Matches by morning: mutual ticks get each other's first name and email at 9am. Nothing else is shared.
- Full refund if you cancel any time before the evening. Refund policy.
