Speed Dating for Sapphics
About the event
Welcome to Pride of our Footscray’s Speed Dating for Sapphics!
Hosted by bisexual icon Ruby Slippers who will guide you through a group icebreaker activity, hype you up throughout the evening, and maybe even perform a fabulous burlesque show for you.
Each speed dating session consists of 5-minute dates with 15 other sapphics, with icebreaker questions provided on every table. After the event, we’ll provide you with an online form to confirm and connect you with your matches!
Doors open 4:30pm with speed dating running from 5pm – 7pm. Please help us by arriving on time so we can make sure everyone is briefed on how the event runs before we start!
After the session ends you can stick around for a drink or a game of pool, and enjoy free drag shows from 8pm hosted by Xena Ghost.
Tickets are $15 entry only or $25 with a cocktail of your choice.
Note: This event is intended for the sapphic community (inclusive of lesbians, bi/pan/queer women, trans people, non-binary people, etc) seeking to meet eachother. We would love to hear if there is interest in holding these events for other genders and sexualities, please let us know!
Pride of our Footscray is located up a flight of stairs and unfortunately does not have an elevator. We apologise for our reduced accessibility.
