Sue and Di: Friends, Free Spirits, and Champions of Real-Life Connection
Sue and Di are long-time friends and kindred spirits — single ladies of a certain age with sharp minds, big hearts, and even bigger laughs. Bonded by years of friendship, shared bottles of wine, and countless conversations about life, love, and the absurdity of modern dating, they've become accidental experts in navigating relationships in the digital age.
Having dipped their toes (and occasionally cannonballed) into the murky waters of online dating, Sue and Di are all too familiar with ghosting, mismatched profiles, and the endless scroll of swipes that lead nowhere. But rather than get jaded, they got curious — why has finding genuine human connection become so complicated for people of any age?
That curiosity sparked action. Frustrated with dating apps and inspired by their own experiences, Sue and Di decided to do something different: bring people together in person. Noticing a rise in popularity for old-school connection, they launched their own speed dating events and singles nights, creating relaxed, friendly spaces where people could meet face-to-face — no filters, no algorithms, just real conversation.
Their events are open to everyone, not just those “of a certain age,” because Sue and Di know that the search for love, companionship, or just a good chat is universal — and timeless.
With humour, honesty, and a touch of s
class, they’re proving that love and laughter don’t expire, and that sometimes, the best connections start offline… over a drink, a shared laugh, or a three-minute conversation that just clicks So watch out for our events on Facebook, Instagram and Eventbrite
