Would you ever go out for dinner with five complete strangers?
Timeleft, a platform that connects people from different backgrounds to meet around a restaurant table every Wednesday night, has officially now arrived in Manchester
2023, Manchester was declared the 6th most lonely city in the UK. Timeleft aims to help combat this by matching up six complete strangers to meet for the first time around a restaurant table and make meaningful connections, all in a safe environment.
Those that are looking to meet and connect with new people can simply sign up via the website to be paired with other like-minded individuals in locations Manchester each Wednesday night, including Selina hotel’s Wilson’s Social in Manchester.
Dining companions are paired entirely based on compatibility, which is determined by a simple personality test that users are prompted to complete when signing up to the platform. The dinners, which take place every Wednesday at 8pm, can be booked before midnight on Monday, and users will receive further information on the group they’ll be dining with and the name and address of the restaurant, which will be chosen for them, ahead of their dinner date with strangers.
Users can either buy one ticket for £12.90, or for those who want to meet people each week, Timeleft offers a monthly subscription, which starts from £19.90.
Users can sign up now for the first UK dinners, which are taking place on Wednesday 24th January at Selina’s restaurant, bar and club, Wilson’s Social, in Manchester, followed by afterparties after each dinner so guests can continue the conversations. The afterparty will be held at both the newly reopened iconic bar, Holdfast, and Wilson’s Social’s underground bar and club, Wilson’s Den.
Maxine Barbier, Co-Founder and CEO at Timeleft comments: “Meeting new people and sparking meaningful conversations in-person can often be both difficult and daunting in a digital-first world. At Timeleft, we aim to break those barriers by giving people a safe environment to meet one another so that they can be more involved with the world they live in. We’re incredibly excited to be launching Timeleft into the UK and we look forward to helping even more people to step outside of their comfort zones and enjoy spending quality time with new people.”
